Mr Ratnam's project, which features Nithya Menon as the female lead, has gone through lot of changes in the last couple of months.
The project was initially planned as a Tamil revenge drama and was slated to go on the floors this December. Last month Mr Ratnam decided to make it as a bilingual and pushed the film to next year, due to which actor Dulquer Salmaan, who was earlier roped in to play the lead, walked out of the project citing date issues. Telugu actor Nani replaced Dulquer. (Also Read:

The latest update is that actress Keerthy Suresh has also quit the project. "Keerthy was to play one of the female leads. She met Mr Ratnam last week and conveyed her decision to exit the project and he respected it," the source said.
The film's music will be composed by AR Rahman.
