Sonam Kapoor has opted out of Mani Ratnam’s new Tamil film which launches the veteran Tamil actor Karthik’s son Gautham. The role has now gone to the upcoming Tamil-Telugu actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu who also will maker her Bollywood debut with ” Assi Nabey Poore Sau”.
“At this point in her career going Southwards for Sonam would give the wrong signal to the filmmakers in Bollywood. Mani had his heart set on Sonam since she suited the young innocent effervescent sophisticated girl’s role to the hilt. He had to look for a last-minute replacement,” said a source.
