Akshara Haasan approached for Sandakozhi 2'

Actress Akshara Haasan, who was recently seen in R. Balakrishnan aka Balki-directed "Shamitabh", has been approached to play the leading role in upcoming Tamil actioner "Sandakozhi 2".

"Talks have been initiated with Akshara, but there hasn't been any confirmation yet. The makers will wait for another couple of weeks to decide whether she will be part of the project or not," a source told IANS.

To be helmed by Linguswamy, who had also directed the prequel, "Sandakozhi 2" will feature Vishal Krishna Reddy in the titular role.

In the past, Akshara was approached by filmmaker Mani Ratnam for his last Tamil directorial "Kadal", but she turned down the offer.

Post "Shamitabh", Akshara, who is the daughter of actors Kamal Haasan and Sarika, hasn't signed any project yet.
