Latest on Mayakkam Enna

Work on the Selva - Dhanush film, Mayakkam Enna is happening at a furious pace. The final song is going to be shot and word is that it will be filmed in Coimbatore. Selva likes the place a lot as he has some fond memories from his visits there.

Richa Gangopadhyay stepped in when Andrea had to leave and filming proceeded.
