Probably this is the first film by a big director with big credentials had to steer clear one controversy after another in the history of Tamil cinema to start a film. Now all troubles are over and Shankar has finally begun the shooting of ‘3 Idiots’ remake in Ooty at Jan 25th.

Although Vijay opted out of the film Shankar succeeded in roping Suriya there by keeping the star value quotient as high as ever. The casting quandary also held the other two other major actors Jeeva and Srikanth in a sticky situation. The beginning of the shooting is a relief not just for them but for all the people following the film.

Suriya is donning the role of Aamir Khan, while Jeeva and Srikanth are playing the other two roles played by Madhavan and Sharman Joshi. Ileana is playing the role of Suriya’s love interest. Sathya Raj is playing the role of a professor, which was played by Bomman Irani in the original version.

The shooting officially began today (25th Jan) in Ooty and Srikanth and Jeeva participated. The plan is to complete all the combination scenes involving these two actors before Surya joins them by the end of February.The official launch will be made soon and so is the announcement of the title of the film.
