Jiiva replaces Ram in Gautham Menon film
Reigning Tamil hero Jiiva, who is playing the lead role in the Tamil version of master storyteller Gautham Menon's upcoming bilingual, will also be the hero of the Telugu version, replacing the original hero Ram. This decision was taken by the film's makers after Telugu hero Ram walked out of the project. The official announcement is awaited.
Ram opted out of the film due to the delay in completing the shooting. Though the actor was excited when Gautham Menon decided to add a Hindi version to the film, and even did four days of shooting in Chennai, Ram walked out rather annoyed with the delays in shooting.
Sources said that since the same scene was being shot with Hindi actor Aditya Roy Kapur, Tamil star Jiiva and Telugu star Ram, the daily rotation of the shooting schedule irked Ram.
