Sana Khaan grooves with Vishal

W e’d earlier reported that Bollywood-Tollywood actress Shraddha Das was all set to make her Kollywood debut with

Ayogya

, in which she’ll be performing a special number. We now hear that Sana Khaan, best remembered for her roles in films like

Silambattam

and Payanam, has replaced her. In fact, the actress completed shooting the song this weekend.

A source in the know confirms, “Shraddha was in Chennai to shoot for the number, but due to unavoidable reasons, she couldn’t shoot. The makers wanted to immediately get on board a popular actress who could also pull off a heavy-duty dance number within a short duration. So, they got in touch with Sana and sent her the track. Though she’d rejected a few song offers in Kollywood before, she loved what she heard and wanted to be a part of the song. It’s a peppy number, composed by

Sam CS

and penned by Rokesh, and will feature in a club-like setup. She flew down to Chennai the next day and started shooting for the number. Since she’s a good dancer as well, it was easy for both her and the team.”

The number, choreographed by Baba master, also features Vishal. The source adds, “While shooting for one of the difficult steps, an injury that the actor sustained while filming an action sequence got aggravated and he was adviced rest. The shoot days had to be extended because the makers wanted this club number to come out well. In fact, Vishal took care of the expenses of the last day of the shoot.”
