Well there have been talks on this front for more than a couple of months now. The director, though just two films old, is the proud owner of two National Awards - one for the Best Director and the other for the Best Screenplay, for his critically and commercially acclaimed film 'Aadukalam' which also fetched its hero Dhanush a National Award for the Best Actor category.

Vetrimaran has made it clear that he will not be showcasing his favorite hero Dhanush in his third film. So who will play the lead in the next film of this director, who is known for his critically acclaimed films?

Well there is a strong rumour doing rounds in the Tamil film circles that Vetrimaran might just rope in Suriya Sivakumar for his third film. According to sources close to the director, he is almost through with the scripting of his third film, and is all set to ready his team for this project. This film will be produced by Dayanidhi Alagiri's Cloud Nine Movies.

Suriya is, at the moment committed to KV Anand's 'Maatran' after which he will be doing a film for director Hari. Though nothing regarding the Vetrimaran-Suriya association has been confirmed yet, there is a strong undercurrent in the Kollywood circles that Suriya might just nod his yes to this project.
