What was rumoured to have happened

The report also claimed that there was talk of Nayanthara being replaced by Tamannaah. It also stated that producer Ishari K Ganesh ‘spoke to Nayanthara to settle the issue’. Khushbu’s post was to clarify that all is well on set.

Sundar took over directing duties from RJ Balaji for the sequel of the 2020 film Mookuthi Amman. Urvashi, Duniya Vijay, Regina Cassandra, Yogi Babu, Abhinaya and Meena also star in the film produced by Vels Film International, Avni Cinemax, Rowdy Pictures and Ivy Entertainment.
