Vijay’s Velayudham to be Genelia’ swan-song in Kollywood?

Actress Genelia D'Souza recently got engaged to Ritesh Deshmukh, a Bollywood actor and the son of Union Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh. Though they had been seeing each other for the past few years, they had always been denying that they were madly in love with each other. The couple got engaged at Deshmukh's Mumbai residence last week.

Genelia is a busy star in Hindi films and recently had her Hindi film opposite John Abraham releasing and hitting the bull's eye at the box-office. The Goan girl, who is awaiting the release of her latest Tamil film Velayudham on Deepavali eve, is likely to quit acting in films after her marriage to Ritesh, which is likely to take place early next year.

She has been approached by Simbudevan, who made Imsai Arasanum 23-m Pulikesiyum with Vadivelu in the lead, to do a film for him. She is likely to be paired up opposite Dhanush in that film titled Maareesan. If she agrees to that, it might be her last film but as such, she hasn't given any commitment about starring in the film so far.

Sources close to the actress say that she is likely to complete her present pending films in Hindi and tie the nuptial knot with Ritesh in February, 2012!
