Arya to play villain opposite Vishal

Arya and Vishal are best friends in real life. In fact, a few years back, they went to the extent of announcing that they would get married on the same day. While Arya married Sayyeshaa, Vishal's wedding was postponed. Now, Arya is turning a villain to Vishal - of course not in reality, but for a film.

If sources are to be believed, Arya essays the main antagonist to Vishal in a movie to be directed by Anand Shankar of Iru Mugan and Nota fame.

One may recall earlier Arya had agreed to do a role with grey shades in Vishal's Irumbu Thirai, but backed out for reasons best known to him. He had also told this newspaper then that 'Vishy' had asked him to be part of his film IT. "How could I say no to my close buddy who would not think of anything other than the best to offer to me?" he had said.

Both have appeared together in the critically acclaimed film Avan Ivan directed by ace Bala.
