Lakshmi Gopalasamy, the Bangalore-based dancer and actress, had initially agreed to play Trisha’s mom in Abhiyum Naanum. However, at the last minute, she decided to back off from the project. She feels that at a time when she is still playing heroine roles with Mammootty and Mohanlal, doing mother roles may not be a very judicious decision.

It is heard that Aishwarya has been approached for the role and she has readily agreed.

Abhiyum Naanum, directed by Radha Mohan, is produced by Prakash Raj’s Duet Films and Moser Baer.
