Anushka's double act in Selva's flick

Alot seems to be happening on Selvaraghavan's Irandam Ulagam front.
While the director is currently location hunting in the US, where he plans to shoot a schedule of his film, the industry is abuzz with how Anushka, who's playing the female lead in the film, will be seen in a dual role in it. It's also being said that the girl is learning martial arts for the film that has Arya in the lead.Though Anushka has played dual roles in her earlier Telugu film, Arundhati and Panchamukhi, this one, we hear, will be quite challenging. A highly-placed source reveals, 'Anushka is indeed playing a dual role in Irandam Ulagam. But, only one role will be seen prominently throughout the film. Selva is attempting something new with this film by trying to give it a period feel. However, it can't be classified as a period film.'
Anushka and the director remained unavailable for comments at the time of going to press. But the actress' spokesperson refutes the claims, saying, 'Anushka is not learning martial arts, and she is not doing a dual role as well.'
Interestingly, Selvaraghavan's earlier film Aayirathil Oruvan also had historical elements in them, though the film belonged to the fantasy genre. The filmmaker had mentioned a while back that he had already completed the script of the sequel to the Karthistarrer
