The renowned director’s last hit was ‘Raavanan’ with Vikram and Aishwarya Rai and after that mammoth production the ace director is now all set to start his next big film.
Mani Ratnam has already finalized a song for the film sitting with music composer A R Rahman and lyricist Vairamuth.
The song will be recorded soon and the shoot for the song will take place near the areas of the city of Mysore, where Rajinikanth’s ‘Thalapathy’ was shot.
The yet-to-be-titled film tells the plight of the fishermen of south Tamil Nadu with an intense love story entwined with it. Yesteryear hero ‘Navarasa Nayagan’ Karthik’s son Gautham is being launched with this big film. The female lead is not finalized yet. Many young names including ‘Ko’ Karthiga and Parthipan’s daughter Keerthana (who did a vital role in the Mani Ratnam’s 2002 flick ‘Kannatthil Muthamittal’) were considered but the director is yet to decide on the female lead.
