Jul 15, 2010 Manoj out of ‘Vaanam’ Posted by PRAVEEN KANNA at 9:28 PM

Manoj, the hero who became familiar to Tamil audience with his ‘Ennai Theriyuma?, may not be part of Silambarasan’s ‘Vaanam’.Manoj with the title as ‘Rocking Star’ in Telugu cinema acted in ‘Vedam’, the original Telugu version of ‘Vaanam’.

While performing a dangerous stunt without a body double in his latest Telugu movie, ‘Jhummandhi Naadham’, Manoj had injured himself. Sadly both his shoulders have been injured and require an operation. He has been advised rest by his doctor and according to Manoj’s tweet, the duration of the rest could be four months, thereby forcing him to avoid ‘Vaanam’.

Manoj, though a Telugu actor, has grown up in Chennai. Silambarasan and he are friends for a long time. Both the stars would have been excited to work in the same movie but fate had it otherwise. The ‘Vaanam’ team headed by director Krish would be on the look out for a celebrated star to fit the crucial ‘rock star’ role.
