Veteran actor Delhi Ganesh, a popular character artiste with over 200 Tamil films to his credit, has joined the cast of ace filmmaker Mani Ratnam's Tamil romantic drama "Kaatru Veliyidai".
"Delhi Ganesh sir has started shooting in Ooty, where the makers have started filming some initial portions. Originally, the plan was to shoot the first schedule in Kashmir; however, Ooty was been chosen instead. The team will shoot in Kashmir later on," a source from the film's unit told IANS.
Karthi and Aditi Rao Hydari, who play the lead, are yet to join the sets.
"They're expected to join soon. Karthi is busy wrapping up dubbing work on 'Kaashmora', and he's most likely to join the sets towards the end of this month," the source added.
Also starring R.J. Balaji and Shraddha Srinath, the film is jointly produced by Madras Talkies and Thenandal Films.
