Arjun is all smiles these days and it is not without enough reasons. For his long pending date with success has just happened with the release of his latest Marudamalai.

Reason enough for the producers to swarm his front door for his dates. However, Arjun seemed to be holding all the cards and hadn’t nodded his consent for another project. But not for too long though. For he just can’t turn down a veteran like Balachander. Here is how.

Earlier, director Selva called on Arjun for his next venture, the remake of old hit Nootrukku Nooru, for which the actor did not seem to show any keenness. Not sooner than the incident, Arjun received a call from Balachander – producer of the movie – and the veteran expressed his desire to cast Arjun in the remake project produced by Kavithalaya. The reason: Balachander was bowled over by the actor’s performance in Bommalattam. Arjun has obviously gestured a nod of consent to Selva after this.

Directed by Balachander, the old Nootrukku Nooru starred Jaishankar, Nagesh and Lakshmi and was a thriller sans action, which might as well provide a makeover for Arjun. Arjun’s offbeat Bommalattam, directed by Bharathiraja, is due to hit the screens in the near future.
