Vishal’s Theeradha Villayattu Pillai, which will be directed by Thiru, will commence very soon. However, the team is still in the process of selecting the heroines. Sources reveal that there would be three heroines in the film.

While Nayathara was touted to be a strong contender for the role, it now looks like Tamanna will bag the role.

It may be recalled that Tamanna went to sign up a project – Payya – after Nayan refused to star in it. The other heroine is said to be Reema Sen.

Meanwhile, there was a buzz that Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu could be signed up. But the actress is apparently not interested in south Indian films as she finds the language difficult to speak. With Theeradha Villayattu Pillai, Tamanna’s status in Kollywood will go several notches up, industry sources say.

Tamanna is getting busier day by day in Kollywood. She is getting offers to pair with famous and popular heros. Tamanna while speaking about this said,” I am really happy that I have become such a big actress in Tamil and Telugu films in such a young age. I am very careful in retaining this position. South Indian films have given me good recognition. I am totally dedicative while acting in each film. I also want to do different kind of roles in each film. I am also concentrating on my roles that should be recognized.

People should appreciate me by telling that I have done better in this film then my earlier film. So I am taking lot of effort. Ananda Thandavam in which I have acted is to be released soon. I am currently acting in Ayan and Paiya. I have also been signed for the film Kanden Kadhalai. Though I am getting a lot of offers in other languages I give preference to Tamil films.”
