Is Shanthnu part of Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan?

Kalki Krishnamurthy's historic epic Pooniyin Selvan has many important characters. While the book's adaptation by Mani Ratnam has several stars, including Vikram, Karthi, Jayam Ravi, Trisha, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Vikram Prabhu, there was a buzz that Shanthnu Bhagyaraj, too, will be seen in the film.

Ask him about it and he says, "Nope.

I heard that there was a discussion for my name. Dhana (director of Vaanam Kottattum) had told me. I heard that Mani sir liked the way I performed in the movie and they considered my name for a character in the film. But the age was a mismatch and so it never came to me. Well, I am glad that Mani sir liked my performance. If things has to come to me, it will happen."

Meanwhile, Shanthnu has Master up for release. He is also busy with Vikram Sugumaran's Raavanam Kottam, and a romcom with Athulya Ravi, Bhagyaraj, Yogi Babu and Motta Rajendran.
