After that, she was signed for a Tamil film, Run, but for reasons undisclosed, she was dropped after a first schedule and replaced by Meera Jasmine. In the jinx driven industry, X was dropped from her second Tamil movie "Manasellam" opposite Srikanth, on the grounds of 'non-performance' and was replaced by Trisha Krishnan.
