Actors passing on projects and their colleagues materialising them is something that happens in show business far too frequently. However, there are occasions where projects thus skipped end up becoming landmarks, even defining the careers of the actors who eventually picked them up, leaving the fans of the former, and even the stars themselves, disappointed over the lost opportunity. From Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan rejecting Lagaan to Aamir Khan turning down Darr, and Mammootty skipping Drishyam, there are many examples of this in Indian cinema. Even the Tamil film industry is no stranger to this phenomenon, and there have been quite a few similar instances. Among them, the story of one project stands out as the most intriguing since it took the director over a decade to realise the movie after its initial male lead, Kamal Haasan, walked out. Interestingly, the film was also supposed to mark the Tamil debut of renowned Bollywood actor Preity Zinta. However, another actor, “Superstar” Rajinikanth, later took on the project and turned it into a multi-billion franchise, …
