Sarath Kumar is all set to play Shriya's father in K. S. Ravikumar's 'Jaggubhai'. The story delves deep into the intricate relationship between a father and daughter. The film was originally written for superstar Rajinikanth but then was shelved for unknown reasons. However, the director wanted 'Jaggubhai' to see the light of day and cast Sarath Kumar in the lead. Interestingly, the director has rendered big time hits with Sarath in the past.
K. S. Ravikumar is facing a Himalayan problem now. Who will play the role of Sarath Kumar's wife? Because the role also entails playing mom to Shriya, most top actresses don't want anything to do with the project. Actresses such as Sneha, Simran, Padmapriya, Vimala Raman and Tabu have been considered but with negative responses.
With Shriya among the top contenders in the line up of Numero Uno in Tamil films, no other actress wants to give her that much of boost to consolidate it. Truly a headache for the filmmakers.
Meanwhile, there were reports that the title for the movie would be changed. The director has denied this and said he'd go ahead with the same title.
