It may sound shocking at first to hear that the Big B has been replaced by another actor at the last minute in the Tamil version. To rewind a bit, the Big B had blissfully done a cameo in the film where Sridevi’s character on the way to the US for the first time, runs into a stranger and has a long and deep and conversation with him at the intermission point of the film.
