Oviya, who was roped in to play one of the heroines in Raghava Lawrence's Kanchana 3, is no longer a part of the film. Sources say she has returned the advance she was paid for the film. It's being said that the project has been getting delayed for a while, and the actor, therefore, had no other choice but to leave the project in order to accommodate her other films -- Silukkuvarupatti Singam, and Deekay's Kaatteri. 

We hear that the Kanchana 3 team is now scouting for a replacement.
