As per media Sonakshi Sinha would be doing an item number in Suriya and Lingusamy's upcoming project. Later more confusion erupted when a new speculation came up claiming that the Rowdy Rathore heroine has been replaced by Grand Masti fame Maryam Zakaria.

When contacted, sources within the unit clarified that both the ladies are in fact part of the project. Maryam Zakaria has shot for her song already, and the song featuring Sonakshi will be canned very soon.

Starring Suriya and Samantha in the lead, this alleged gangster movie will also have Vidyut Jamwal and Manoj Bajpai in other pivotal characters. Santosh Sivan is hemming the camera, and Yuvan Shankar Raja is working on the music. Produced by Thirupathi Brothers, a major portion of this Lingusamy directorial is being shot in Mumbai.
