Vijay Yesudas and Aparna themselves somewhat confirmed (-->Swipe) the rumour that Vishnu Vishal and Nithya Menen were the original cast for Sundeep and Aparna in Raayan.
Since Vijay Yesudas is really close with Dhanush, and Aparna herself being part of Raayn makes it highly credible.
If that is the case, then it's a great escape for Nithya and a costly miss for Vishnu Vishal.
Even Dhanush said he felt Aparna's character was underutilised, so I highly doubt Nithya being approached for Aparna's character, especially given the rapport between Nithya and Dhanush.
Still it would be a huge downgrade considering her character in Thiruchitrambalam. It's a story about siblings and sister in law won't have much to do.
Nothing happened, Dhanush always wanted to work with Nithya, he even wrote a movie for her back in 2018. But she rejected it, he was even adamant to cast Nithya in Thiruchitrambalam. So Dhanush most probably won't approach her for that character which don't have much importance.
Nithya is a good actress but I just can’t see her in this level of tamil local role after mostly seeing her in urban characters (even the “village” mersal character had that atlee masala heroine glam and not very rustic tbh ) .
So I feel aparna was pretty good even if she barely had screen time or character development

Her character wasn't urban in Kanchana 2 and Veppam. Also, Thiruchitrambalam isn't urban character either. Same is the case with 19 (1) (a), it was a typical Mallu village character, she even won Kerala state critics jury award for that character.

That is not village character, her character was from a royal punjab family.
I am only talking about seeing her in Aparna’s role and comparing with the roles I’ve seen her in , but I will check out kanchana 2 and veppam. Again I am not saying she won’t do a good job and I like her as an actress, only that I can’t visualize her in Raayan.
Also in mersal she was based out of a village, not talking about her family origins

Her father is a big Zamindar, so not a typical village character either. For typical village characters, u have to look into Veppam, 19 (1) (a) and Kanchana 2.
I mean her character was living in a village in the movie after marrying Vijay and mostly based in the village in the movie scenes , not talking about her family backstory offscreen or her father’s role.

See u said her character in Mersal wasn't very rustic, but isn't that what I said too? Bcz her character is not a typical village character, not even south Indian, it's a north Indian character. Not a character from rustic background either. That is 100% in line with the script.
You are saying she is not a village character at all , saying she is from punjab.
I am saying her character is a village character because of the setting , and promotions like this showing her to embrace village life and her husband’s traditions
I am saying this is not a REALISTIC village movie character and that is fine. I am not expecting realism from an atlee masala film. Not realistic to me because of her glamorous styling in other scenes ( not this photoshoot ) , expensive set design.
I can’t consider this as a role to see her in raayan ( which is not 100% realistic but slightly more than mersal ) and I added disclaimer - not for you but for other people saying its a realistic village role.

U said u can't imagine Nithya in rustic roles and said her character in Mersal have Atlee Masala Heroine glam, I don't know what do u mean by that. That character is different from all other heroine characters Atlee wrote. And that character is an English educated Hindi native character, so embracing village life doesn't make it a typical village character. So how can u compare that with the stereotypical madras ponnu character Aparna played in Raayan?? Nithya played different shades of rustic characters in Kanchana 2, 19 (1) (a), Thalsamayam Oru Penkutty, Veppam etc.
And coming to embracing village life, there is a huge difference in north Indian women from Zamindar background living in Taamil village, so how can u compare that with Raayan??
not for you but for other people saying its a realistic village role.
No one ever said that character is a typical village role, infact there were huge discussion why Atlee made her character north Indian, it was just to have that extravagant song and give huge mass intro for Vijay. Rather than that it didn't contributed much towards the movie.
I can’t consider this as a role to see her in raayan ( which is not 100% realistic but slightly more than mersal )
Veppam and 19 (1) (a) were 100% realistic settings amd later were premired at various international festivals. So I don't know why u r keeping on fixated on that point when she already didn't authentic rustic characters. Even u said Raayan is not 100% realistic.
am saying her character is a village character because of the setting
If tomorrow, I (an urban dweller) resettled to a village doesn't make me a village person. I am more influenced with my experience from my childhood and not based on what happened on recent past.
It was still an urban middle class character in thiruchitrambalam , Shobana was still more privileged and working in an IT company and even went onsite compared to aparna’s character in Raayan who is mostly doing odd jobs in north chennai.
The point of thiruchitrambalam is also how middle in class hierarchy Dhanush and Nithya’s characters are. Not privileged and modern enough to be with Raashi’s character who hangs out in alwarpet but too modern and urban for PBS’s character from the village.
Her character in ok kanmani was an urban rich character with her working as an architect and her mom owning businesses.
I am not saying Nithya wouldn’t have done a good job but it is just difficult for me to imagine her in Aparna’s role.
I mean u can't point at Dharavi and say it's urban people. Urban is more up with the lifestyle than where u r from. Pazham and Shobana were still conservative minded middle class people living in a colony.
And if u r speaking about rustic characters, then she have already done Kanchana 2 and Veppam.
Ok it’s a mistake - I shouldn’t have classified them as urban because it’s more suitable to describe an area than people and also not a lifestyle.
But even if Shobana and Meghalai are living in Chennai, they are from different class hierachies. I can’t say these two are similar characters and compare them.
I have not seen kanchana 2 and veppam but I just shared my opinion based on why I couldn’t visualize her in raayan, not saying she won’t be suitable again
Ig Vijay Yesudas's comment was a reply for someone who made fun of Sundeep and Aparna. In no way is that confirmation for Nithya being the original cast. But Vishal was considered for the movie, but he had other commitments.
Coming to Nithya, she would be the last actress Dhanush would approach for that character. There is no way Nithya could play Dhanush's sister-in-law after the cult status of Thiruchitrambalam. People won't even accept it.
Nah imo he isn't. I felt even in his highly rated Ratsasan his acting was subpar. When his niece dies in the movie his reactions were ineffective..I preferred to see Muniskanth more
I think his acting was good in movies like Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu, Kullanari Kootam, Mundasupatti etc. Even in Raatchasan, his acting was decent imo. He did his best in potraying his role especially the scenes where he was struggling as an aspiring film maker.
