Newbie Pooja bags Amala's role..

Amala Paul was initially said to play the female lead in Mysskin's superhero flick 'Mugamoodi' with Jiiva in the lead and now she has opted out of it.

Instead of Amala, model turned actress Pooja Hegde has been signed up to make her acting debut as the lead opposite Jiiva. Pooja was adjudged as the runner-up in the Miss Universe – India contest held recently.

Narain will play a negative role in this film directed by Mysskin and produced by UTV Motion Pictures.

The shooting of Mugamoodi will commence from September onwards and the director is planning a teaser trailer in the meantime.

Mugamoodi

UTV Motion Pictures is all set to produce Mugamoodi, to be directed by Mysskin. The director is supposed to have written this script with Suriya in mind but couldn’t join hands with him for various reasons.

The director then had a discussion with Arya and later also with Vishal, but again the project failed to start until Jiiva agreed to play the lead in this Super Hero flick.

According to sources, Jiiva who is now flying high with the stupendous success of KO has been signed by UTV for this ambitious venture and was looking for someone equally famous to play the baddie opposite him and Actor Narain who debuted with Mysskin's Chithiram Pesuthadi seems to have accepted the role.

UTV’s Dhananjayan had said that Narain’s role will be a very powerful one and has thanked him for accepting the negative role, as it will be a deviation from his hero status.

Jiiva teamup with Mysskin..

Jiiva is on a roll and there in no stopping him. Ko has enhanced his star status considerably and he has filmmakers queuing up to sign him on for their projects. But Jiiva is not one to grab everything that comes his way and he is waiting for the right scripts.

When Mysskin approached him with a project he has dreamed of making for a long time, Jiiva was floored and agreed at once.

The film will be called Mugamoodi and it is going to be a superhero flick, the first of its kind in Tamil Nadu. A Mumbai based production house has agreed to bankroll this mega venture, so it is time for Jiiva and Mysskin to rock and roll!
