Director Vetrimaaran has clarified that he has not yet signed southern actress Amala Paul for his yet-untitled Tamil thriller with Dhanush, but he is definitely considering her for a role in it.
"We haven't finalized on the leading lady yet. Amala Paul has been considered during our recent discussions, but we haven't approached her with the story yet. In about a week's time we should be able to finalize the heroine," Vetrimaaran told IANS.
Amala and Dhanush recently completed shooting for Tamil romantic-comedy "Vela Illa Pattathari".
Meanwhile, Dhanush recently started shooting for his second Hindi project with filmmaker R. Balakrishnan. The film also features megastar Amitabh Bachchan.
Amala is awaiting the release of her Tamil-Telugu bilingual "Nimirnthu Nil".
