Is Aindrita’s Kollywood debut delayed?

Aindrita Ray have been seeking to make her debut in Tamil cinema for a very long time. Luck didn’t favour her the last time, when she was purported to make her Kollywood debut opposite Nakul in a project that was later called off. The actor had then said that she would venture outside Sandalwood provided that she gets the honour she commands here.Well, it sounds as if she’s got it. The actor was approached for a movie opposite Vinay Rai, to be directed by cinematographer-turned-director Ramesh. However the film, which was to have gone at the floors in April, has now been delayed as Vinay met with an accident recently and has fractured his leg.

This, say those within the know, is strange. In showbiz, actors use the phrase ‘break a leg’ rather than ‘good luck’ to hope an actor, as wishing good luck may have the other meaning. In Aindrita’s case, break a leg has turned out to be bad luck indeed. “I’ve been approached to do that film. But IT'S NOT THAT I AM too sure when the film will resume as Vinay has suffered an injury. Talks are still happening and i'm hoping that things will fall into place,” she says.

Meanwhile Vinay, who's recovering from his injury, says, “I’ve been asked to rest for an additional month. I'M keen to work on Ramesh’s project. It was presupposed to roll out in April, but I'LL BE starting work at the project only by the top of May.”

Director’s cut:

“The film is a family drama and can be set against the backdrop of the U.S.. We're searching for two heroines for the film and need to cast big names for the project. We now have approached Aindrita and things are yet to be finalized. However, we're planning to begin shooting in May. We can leave for the U.S. within the first week of June for the shoot,” says Ramesh.
