Director Bala recently said that Suriya will no longer be part of ‘Vanangaan’.
In an official statement from Bala, the director said that he wished to make a film titled ‘Vanangaan’ with Suriya, but since certain changes were made to the script, he was apprehensive about the fact that whether the story would suit Suriya.
In the statement, which is penned in Tamil, Bala wrote, “Suriya completely believes in me and the story of Vanangaan. I didn’t want to let down my younger brother who believes in me and respects me so much. So, after mutual discussion, we have both decided to let Suriya off the film. Though he is completely upset about the same, the decision has been taken for his own good. We will come together again, just like we did for Nandha and Pithamagan. However, the film will continue without Suriya.”
It is now said that Arun Vijay has agreed to play the lead role in the movie.
Earlier it was said that Atharvaa will be replacing Suriya in the movie. However, it seems that Arun Vijay has given his nod.
An official announcement about this development is expected to be made soon.
