If reports are to be believed, 'Dilwale' actress Kajol has been roped in to play the female lead in Dhanush and Soundarya's 'VIP'. The sequel to 2014 Tamil action-drama 'Vela Illa Pattathari', has a 'Pursuit of Happyness' tone to it. A source close to the team said, "The film has a 'Pursuit of Happyness' theme which will be retained in the second film as well along with Kolaveri Di composer Anirudh Ravichander's background music."
The source informed that both, Soundarya and Dhanush had an extensive discussion with Kajol. "The entire script was shared with her, followed by a narration. Kajol loves the story and has given her nod to the film verbally. However, there were certain date issues but the makers are working their schedule around her and she is expected to sign later this month. They are hoping Kajol comes on board." Kajol's last stint in the Tamil film industry dates back to 1997, when she played Priya Amalarj in Rajiv Menon's 'Minsara Kanavu'.
Soundarya Rajinikanth will direct Dhanush in 'VIP 2' produced by the actor along with 'Kabali' producer Kalaipuli Thanu.
