Madhu Shalini in Kamal Haasan's 'Thoongaavanam'
Chennai, June 6
Actress Madhu Shalini has
landed an important role in Kamal Haasan-starrer Tamil-Telugu bilingual
"Thoongaavanam", which recently went on floors and stars Trisha Krishnan
in the lead role.
"Madhu plays a brief, but pivotal role in the
film. Kamal Haasan is seen hugging her in the film's first look poster,
which was released recently. She has already started shooting for the
film," a source from the film's unit told IANS.
Being directed by
Haasan's long-time associate Rajesh M. Selva, the film is said to be a
thriller that unfolds in a single night.
"It's about events that
unfold in a bar in one night. Madhu's role will propel the story forward
and she'll be seen in both the versions of the movie," the source said.
The
film titled "Cheekati Rajyam" in Telugu also features an ensemble cast
of Prakash Raj, Kishore and Sampath Raj in important roles.
Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala is most likely to play Haasan's wife.
