Is This True? Madhavan Replaced This Actor In Alaipayuthey?

“R Madhavan,” the chocolate boy, made his entry in Tamil film industry with “Alaipayuthae.” He could shatter his chocolate boy image and proved himself a top star with Irudhi Suttru directed by Sudha Kongara Prasad. He had been still the favorite actor for many women even after a decade when he started doing serious roles. Maddy has a couple of films on his hands for the release; one is a Bollywood film and the other is a Telugu film, “Savyasachi” with Naga Chaitanya. The latest rumor about Madhavan is that he was not the first choice for Alaipayuthae. Karthik Kumar was the initial choice of Mani Ratnam, say some rumor mills. As he looked very young to do that role, Maddy was chosen, say the rumor reports. Do you know Karthik Kumar? He is married to the popular playback singer, “Suchitra.” Karthik was last seen in Mannar Vagaiyara with “Vimal.”
