Ganesh replaces Arya in Mohanlal film

Ganesh Venkatraman, who performed brilliantly in 'Unnai Pol Oruvan', has been signed up to play an important role in Mohanlal's next.
Arya, who was finalised for the role, backed out later as he got a call from his mentor Bala. And the chance went to Ganesh, who debuted in Kollywood with Radha Mohan's 'Abhiyum Naanum' and shot to limelight with just his second film, 'UPO'.
Ganesh had shared a great rapport with Mohanlal when they were working for 'UPO'. Hence, Mohanlal had no hesitation to suggest the other's name for the important role.
Arya was to have acted in Mohanlal's 'Casanova', directed by Rosshan Andrews. But, the project was shelved in the beginning itself due to financial constraints. Mohanlal and Rosshan combined to make 'Ividum Swargamaanu', scheduled to release this Christmas.
Now, when they have decided to revive the project, Arya got an offer from Bala, who made him an actor to reckon with his 'Naan Kadavul'. The actor, very keen to establish himself in Kollywood, could not resist the offer from Bala, says our source.
