Jayaram replaces Biju in Sugeeth’s next film

Ordinary fame Sugeeth was all set to start his next project, Onnum Mindathae, with Biju Menon and Kavya Madhavan in the lead. But now we hear that Jayaram will replace Biju in this family entertainer.
“Biju had some date issues, so we had to rope in Jayaram for the role. The final cast will be confirmed within a week,” says the director. The movie will see Sugeeth, whose last movie wasThree Dots, teaming up with Jayaram for the first time.“I’ve never got an opportunity to work with him even while I was an assistant director,” he says.
The director had earlier told us that Onnum Mindathae is a simple family tale revolving around an agricultural officer and his wife. “The story unfolds in a village. The couple is very much in love with each other, but an unexpected event that happens in their life brings about a twist in the tale,” he says, adding that, “Every couple will be able to identify with the characters.”
The story is written by Rajesh Raghavan, who had earlier scripted Sugeeth’s Three Dots. The movie is expected to start rolling in October. Sugeeth is also set to direct scriptwriter Sachi’s next,Rangoli.
Meanwhile, Jayaram is also busy with Kamal’s next project, Nadan, which will see him play the titular character.
