It is Thulasi in Mani Ratnam's Kadal!

After Samantha walked out of ace director Mani Ratnam's upcoming movie Kadal, there was a lot of speculation over who would be replacing her. It has now been revealed that Thulasi will play the female lead in Kadal, which has veteran actor Karthik's son Gautham making his debut. Thulasi is yesteryear actress Radha's second daughter, and the younger sister of Kofame Karthika.

An interesting thing is that both Radha and Karthik made their acting debuts over 3 decades ago in Bharathiraja's film Kadalora Kavidhaigal. A little birdie reveals that recently Thulasi went to Mani Ratnam's office with her parents, and signed on the dotted line, for Kadal. Insiders say that Thulasi was chosen for the lead, as she would be apt to play the character of a 15-year-old, in the movie.
