It is heard that the actress Rakul Preet Singh replaced Parineeti in the movie, which is yet-to-be-titled. According to reports, a source from the film’s unit told IANS, “Parineeti has left the project and the exact reasons are yet unknown. As her replacement, the makers are signing Rakul, who has already done a test shoot. The final negotiations are currently underway.”

Ace movie maker A R Murugadoss will direct the much-hyped flick and the project will hit floors in August. Music director Harris Jayaraj is expected to score tunes to the movie, which will be shot in Mumbai.
