3 idiots almost shelved

First it was mahesh babu who said he is not willing to share the screen with small hero's like srikanth and asked the production to replace him with siddarth when siddarth was approached for the telugu version he openly stated mahesh babu himself is having a bad time and has given continuous flops in recent times and cannot play a smaller role than him in the film. It is also said that mahesh intentionally wanted to cast siddarth in a smaller role to show his supremo in tollywood. Mahesh babu was the first one to walk out.



Thats the story of telugu film now in tamil the problem started when sun pictures bought the distribution rights of three idiots from gemini film circuit (the producers of the tamil/telugu remake of 3 idiots) there was a rivalry between sun pictures and vijay due to the difference in promotion and payment for sura 50th film of vijay. That is when vijay decided to opt out from the project. it is said that sun pictures tried to buy the  distribution rights of vijays kavalan as well  while the producers tried to convince vijay our super star director shankar reportedly stated that he wouldn't do a remake film if its not for vijay. The project was about to drop at this level thats when Actor Surya came into the scene according to a most reliable source he voluntarily came forth to do the film. It  is said that surya called director shankar to express his willingness to do the

 

project. Chetan baghat writer of the book (5 point someone) on which 3 idiots was based recently tweeted that surya told him that he is doing 3 idiots tamil version when they met in a gym in mumbai. He might also be casted in telugu as well.
Current speculations are that surya has signed another movie with director Hari which was about to start after completing director Murugadoss's magnum opus 7aam Arivu
Hence as of now the project is almost shelved

Vijay out of 3 idiots

No other film in recent times has garnered so much attention even before its making as this one. With a lot of speculation over the making and the star cast of the film, the Tamil remake of Aamir Khan's 3 idiots is already the talk of the town. But just when we were thinking that all is well, here comes a shocker — Ilaiyathalapathy Vijay himself might be out of the mega project! 

The latest buzz is that Vijay and the director of the film, Shankar, had a difference of opinion over the film and have agreed to part as friends. Reports say that Vijay did not approve of his clothes and his look in the film, in which he plays a college student. Moreover, the actor is currently shooting for Velayudham in which he sports a particular look. As he is yet to finish the shoot on this project, which stars Genelia and Hansika in the lead, reports state that he didn't want to change his look as he believed there would be a lack of continuity. 

However, a source close to the developments told that the actor may not do the film because he'll soon float a political party. "An announcement regarding this is expected soon," informed the source. 

When asked the actor about this during the trailer launch of Kaavalan held yesterday, Vijay remained tight-lipped and said, "Let the information come from the producer's side." The shooting for 3 idiots was expected to begin on December 6 in Dehradun.
