Vijay's next mega project Kuruvi to be directed by Dharani and produced by Udaynidhi Stalin is in the news, but this time it's about the fairer sex.

The project when announced featured the hit combination of Gillie team, viz. director Dharani, hero Vijay, heroine Trisha and music director Vidya Sagar.

Later on news began to leak about Trisha being expelled from the project and names like Vidya Balan were said to be in the race for Ilaya Thalapathy's arm candy. Then the news was brandished as baseless rumor.

However, last few days witnessed the print and the portal media bringing in Nayantara as the replacement for Trisha. She was also rumored to have signed on the dotted line. When the matter was probed, it was found that some of the unit members felt that Trisha and Vijay combination is turning out to be a bit stale and a fresh new combination can be tried out and this freshness can be rendered by Nayantara who certainly looks ravishing these days with the loss of lot of flab. But according to insiders, the comfort levels shared between Dharani and Trisha (they have featured in the mega hit Gillie) have tilted the balance in the latter's favor. It has also been said that to accommodate Trisha who is currently shooting in Hyderabad for 'Chennaiyil oru mazhaikalam', the first schedule of Kuruvi will also be filmed in the Andhra Pradesh capital. So Trisha has finally proved mightier than Nayantara, after all!
