Kalidas Jayaram to be part of Nadaga Medai?

According to sources, director Karthick Naren is in talks with Kalidas Jayaram to play the lead role in his upcoming multi-starrer. The Dhuruvangal 16 fame director had recently announced the title of his third film Naadaga Medai. The film, bankrolled by his home production Knight Nostalgia Filmotainment, is still in the initial stages of casting and pre-production, but the director has already roped in Sujith Sarang for cinematography and Ron Ethan Yohann for music.

The son of actors Jayaram and Parvathy, Kalidas made his Tamil debut with Meen Kuzhambum Mann Paanaiyum and is awaiting the release of his next, Balaji Tharaneetharan's Oru Pakka Kathai. Meanwhile, Karthik Naren is awaiting the release of his second film, Naragasooran, starring Aravind Swamy, Shriya Saran, Sundeep Kishan, and Aathmika. Naadaga Medai will be the director's first light-hearted film as his first film D-16 was a murder mystery and Naragasooran is also touted to be a serious thriller.
