The cheerful news in Kollywood is the revival of Chennayil Oru Mazhai Kalam which had run into a series of problems. Sources say that director Gautham Menon has roped in Sameera Reddy to play the female lead opposite newcomer Satish, brother of former actress Maheshwari.

Busy with his Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaya, Gautham is planning to make Chennayil Oru Mazhai Kalam simultaneously. Originally, Suriya and Asin were to do the main roles with Gautham even going through with the photo shoot. Now Trisha has replaced Asin.

It remains to be seen if A.R. Rahman stays as music composer in this youth-centric film focused on the prevalent corporate culture where night shifts are the order of the day. Touted as a dream project of Gautham, the director is doing his best to ensure that the project is completed.
