Did Vinay say ‘no’ to Shankar? If reports are to be believed, Vinay was offered Madhavan’s role in the 3 Idiots remake but the actor declined the offer. The buzz goes around in Kollywood that Vinay feels the role does not give him enough scope to perform and decided against accepting Shankar’s offer.It has to be mentioned here that Shankar was toying with the idea of casting either Vinay or Srikanth for the role and there was an expectation that one of them could bag the role. If Vinay declines, then it could be Srikanth’s gain, say sources.
