Dulquer drops out of Thug Life - Arjun Das and Kalidas in Lokesh quickie

Dulquer Salmaan has dropped out of Thug Life directed by Mani Ratnam as he has no dates for the Serbia schedule. Who is going to replace DQ at the last minute ?. Insiders say that the shooting schedules are planned according to availability of Kamal Haasan. It was earlier decided that Kamal would move on to H Vinoth fulm before joining Mani. This changed after Kamal put Vinoth in waiting list and decided to dole out dates between Mani and Kalki. With this, all schedules have been advanced and Kamal wants to shoot a sizable portion before he takes to full time campaigning and if he wins, the duties of becoming an MP will occupy him. Usually, actors have been replaced but not after making an official announcement by Mani. Speculation has thrown up names and not found the way to final list. Now we had heard that Keerthy Suresh was to do PS 2 and as it clashed with Rajini’s Annaatthhe , she did not figure. We hear that Jeyam Ravi who sounded for a cameo would step unto DQ shoe. If you look up DQ film line up, you can see why it is difficult to dole away dates ar short notice as it would disturb his other projects. Currently he is doing Telugu film Lucky Basjar directed by Veky Attluri, As he finishes this, it is Suriya- Sudha Kongara film, He has signed a Selvamani Selvaraj film which has Rana Daggubatti too.
Lokesh Kankaraj has to keep LCU concept alive till he finishes directing Rajini as it is not part of LCU. For this he had put a plan of bringing out a small budgeted film which will feature Arjun Das and Kalidas Jayram who played Prabhanjan and Anbu in Vikram. He has roped in Narain to do the script and direction. The film will trace out the Lokesh Cinema Universe from the start to till now. With Thalapathy not being part of Lokesh future films and Kamal post Lok Sabha might not be available, Lokesh has to keep the concept alive for a year. With trends changing overnight, it is better to be in circulation in some way or other
