Chennai Sep 18 (IANS) Actress Shalini Pandey who made a splash with Telugu film "Arjun Reddy" will be making her Tamil acting debut with upcoming romantic-comedy "100% Kadhal" which was originally supposed to feature Lavanya Tripathi.
"After the unprofessional exit of Lavanya we ve brought in Shalini as her replacement. We did a look test with Shalini on Saturday and we immediately signed her. Her persona will bring lot of energy to the character " film s director Chandramouli told IANS.
The project was supposed to go on the floors earlier in September.
"Due to Lavanya s exit we had to reschedule our entire shoot. We go on the floors from October 11. After shooting for a month in India we will head to London to finish the rest of the film " he said.
Unhappy with the way Lavanya chose to walk out of the project Chandramouli has lodged a complaint against her in the South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce.
"We weren t quite convinced with the reasons for her exit. Moreover we found the reasons to be silly so we decided to lodge a complaint. I didn t want to get involved too much as I didn t want to get diverted because of this matter " he said.
A remake of Telugu film "100% Love" the film also stars actor-composer G.V. Prakash Kumar.
