Jai, who seems to be having a dream run in Kollywood lately, is all set to work in Gautham Menon's untitled production opposite Abinaya. Word has it that over two dozen girls were auditioned to play Jai's love interest in the film, that of a brash sales girl in a garment store, and Abinaya, who was the the original choice of the makers for this role, was whom Gautham chose. He felt that she was the apt choice, after seeing all the audition tapes. "When the script (written by debutant director Prem Sai) was developed, the makers had Abinaya on their minds for this particular role. But, with an increase in the film's budget, the makers thought they should try out other options, where they auditioned many glamorous girls from across the country," says a source, who adds that eventually, it was the original choice that worked out best for them. The duo shot for their first look test last week at a studio in the city and the makers seem to be mighty thrilled with the outcome of that. The film, which is said to be a love story by nature, is set to take take off shortly. The debutant director has previously assisted Prabhu Deva in a couple of films before Gautham's production house okayed this project of his, which he has been working on since the past one year. The film will also have Santhanam in a pivotal role.
