Amala Paul signs Vijay-Vijay film

Looks actress Amala Paul has pipped others in the race to bag to this coveted film.
It's a new combo for Vijay and director Vijay. Director Vijay who has worked with Vikram in two films is now set to work with the Ilayathalapathy. While Yami Gautam was touted to play the leading lady, looks like date issues caused her to not sign this on.
Meanwhile, we hear that the filmmakers were keen on a girl who could speak Tamil as it was an emotion-oriented role and required language skills.While Amala was auditioned earlier, they didn't sign her on due to date issues. But it looks like her dates have been worked out with Puri Jagannadh and she can fit in this project.
