Anushka role has been confirmed in Vaanam

Rubbishing recent reports that she refused to be part of the Tamil remake of her Telugu super hit Vedam, directed by promising director Krish with Allu Arjun in the lead, reigning actress Anushka has confirmed that she would repeat the role of a sex worker Saroja in Vedam's Tamil remake titled Vaanam.

"I'm playing in Vaanam, the same character (Saroja) that I played in Vedam. When we did it in Telugu, it was a new venture, a multi-starrer and a different kind of a movie. Even though we knew it was an amazing script, we all had our inhibitions as to how people would take it. But we had a terrific response from the media and the audience. We are planning to put in a lot more in Vaanam. We are also looking to make it more commercial this time," the pretty actress was quoted as saying.

Asked how different the Tamil version is from the Telugu version, Anushka said: "I just started working on this project from Monday. The star cast is different but otherwise the version is the same." Besides Anushka, Vaanam will have Simbu, Bharath, Vega and Sonia Agarwal in the lead role. The film is produced by V.T.V. Ganesh; cinematography is by Nirav Shah and music by Yuvanshankar Raja.
