Anushka’s dual role in Irandam

If sources in tinsel town are to be believed, Anushka Shetty, one of the most happening lady in K'town, will be seen in a dual role in Selvaraghavan's much anticipated Irandam Ulagam which has Arya in the lead.

A close source adds that the sultry siren will essay the role of a soft-spoken housewife as well as a tribal woman.

It is learnt that the tribal character has a lot of action sequences and hence Anushka is getting trained in self defense under a master in Mumbai.

Sources say that it is not a period flick as reported! "There are two parallel stories where Arya and Anushka play their roles separately and unite at one point in time. It is a fantasy entertainer," the source adds. The ace filmmaker is trying out a new look for the new pair. Says Selva, who is off to the US with his family, "Irandam Ulagam is a challenging script! I have explored a new genre that is intriguing.

It has everything — love, adventure, action, period backdrop, supernatural effects etc." As far as their looks go, yes, Arya and Anushka will make a terrific onscreen pair in IU, Selva claims.
