Director Shankar has finally got his cast and crew in place and he has started shooting for his ambitious project – the South remake of 3 Idiots.

The film is titled 'Nanban' with Vijay, Jiiva and Srikanth in lead roles along with Illeana and Sathyaraj in key roles.

While all is well with Shankar and his 3 Idiots team, there is one person who remains to be unhappy. Sources say that Suriya, who was earlier slated to play Aamir's role in the South remake, is upset by the negative news floating around about why he opted out of the film.

As per reports, Suriya opted out of the film as he wasn't getting paid the amount he had asked for. There was also buzz that Suriya demanded the Telugu rights of the movie. However, sources close to Suriya have denied any such demand from the actor.

Sources have it that Suriya couldn't allocate dates for the movie and he didn't want to keep Shankar waiting for him. The actor has his dates full with schedules of '7am Arivu' and 'Maatran' and therefore talks between the director and Suriya didn't even reach to the level where they would discuss the fee. But Suriya isn't a naïve and knows that rumours won't die down till he speaks to the media directly.

Therefore, the actor is planning to hold a press conference soon to clear the air and put all rumours to rest. We are sure the superstar will come out clean.
