Arya begins his Vettai! vettai-arya-10-02-11

Vettai was announced a couple of months ago, but this film will commence in March, 2011. The reason for the delay is because Arya was tied up with Bala’s Avan Ivan. Now that the film has been wrapped up and the post production work is on, Arya is free to concentrate in Vettai.

Lingusamy will direct this bilingual, which will be made simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu. While Arya plays the lead role in the Tamil version, Mahesh Babu will don the greasepaint for the Telugu version.

Dayanidhi Alagiri of Cloud Nine Movies will produce Vettai and it is touted to be a big budget film.

Arya to replace Vikram

Arya has joined the league of Santhosh Sivam’s multi-starrer Urumi, according to a source. He will be seen in a cameo appearance in this movie which was supposed to done by Vikram as the actor had difficultly in allotting his dates to this cinematographer-turned-filmmaker. Urumi is about the attempted murder of Portuguese explorer Vasco Da Gama, who arrived in Kappad near Calicut in 1498. We have learnt that Arya would complete his assignment in three days. Apart from Arya, Urumi has Tabu, Vidya Balan, Genelia, Prithviraj, Prabhu Deva, Nithya Menon, and Amol Gupte. A source reveals that Vidya Balan has done item number in it.
