Andrea in 'Nanban'

Shankar always ensures that his films get nothing but the best in all aspects. Currently busy shaping up 'Nanban', a remake of Bollywood hit 'Three Idiots', he has roped in Andrea Jeremiah for an important task.

Andrea, if sources are to be believed, will dub for Ileana, who is playing the female lead in the Vijay-Jiiva-Srikanth starrer. Already a popular actress and singer, Andrea takes the avatar of a dubbing artiste in 'Nanban'.

"Shankar felt that Andrea's voice would suit best for Ileana, who is playing a college student in Nanban. So the choosy director approached her for the task and she accepted the offer," say sources.

More than 70 % of 'Nanban' shoot is over and the film may see the light of the day on Deepavali. Music is composed by Harris Jayaraj, who has joined hands with Shankar after 'Anniyan'.

Andrea in ‘Mankatha’?

There was a buzz a few days ago that Andrea Jeremiah, the singing and acting talent of Kollywod, will be part of Venkat Prabhu’s ambitious project ‘Mankatha’.

Those who claimed this said that Andrea was close to Venkat Prabhu since she crooned a song in his earlier film ‘Goa’ and it was this rapport that made the director to rope her in for the project.

However, the actress has cleared the air saying that she is not acting in this 50th film of Ajith. “I am not doing the film,” said the ‘Pachaikili Muthucharam’ and ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ actress.

Produced by Dhayanidhi Alagiri, ‘Mankatha’, an action entertainer with usual Venkat Prabhu’s ingredients, has Arjun, Trisha, Premji and Vaibhav in lead roles. Music is by Yuvan Shankar Raja.
