2012 seems to be a packed year for Bangalore-based actor Vinay Rai. The Unnale Unnale actor has one film with Madhesh up for release and has signed on two films which will keep his busy through the course of the year. 'I have signed on director Ahmed's next film
Endrendrum Punnagai, which also stars Jiiva, Trisha and
Santhanam. It is a fun film and I am looking forward to the same,' says Vinay.
While the buzz is that Vinay is doing the role that Shiva was supposed to be doing earlier in this slice-of-life musical, director Ahmed says Shiva wasn't signed on but was just one of the people considered for the film.
Vinay will commence work on his next film this week, which is going to be set in India and the United States. 'The film is titled
Iruvar Ullamand has a great script which deals with the cultural ethos of Indians who move to the US,' says Vinay who has two heroines paired opposite him in the film. One is Bindu Madhavi while the other is supposedly a Mumbai girl.
