Arjun not Surya - Vishnuvardhan's next hero

Director Vishnuvardhan clarified that the hero of his next project Sarvam will be Arjun, not Surya. A few days back Ayngaran Films International has announced that they would be launched a movie, which Vishnuvardhan will direct in which Surya will play the lead role. Now there is been a change in the cast of the film. It is not Surya but Arjun who will act as hero in Sarvam. Interestingly Arya will also act in the movie in the second lead role.This clearly means Surya is out of the project and the buzz is that the star did not agree with Vishnu's script. Surya who is now in US shooting for Gautham Menon's Vaaranam Aayiram had given Vishnu priority dates from the last week of January 2008. Vishnu's favourite cast and crew - Yuvan Shankar Raja and Nirav Shah - are also likely to be a part of this musical thriller, which will be shot most likely in Munnar by mid December.
