India’s well known director Mani Ratnam and his production house Madras Talkies has signed a deal worth Rs 120 crore with Anil Ambani, for his new untitled film in three languages- Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. Director Mani Ratnam who is lovingly known as Mani sir in Kollywood is silently working on the script of this flick, since the release of his super hit Guru in January 2007.
The Hindi version of his new movie will feature Abhishek Bachchan- Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Govinda in a negative role. The Tamil and Telugu version’s will have Vikram doing Abhishek’s role while Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will be the common heroine for all the three versions. It is going to be a tight rope walk for her as she has to organize her dates with Shankar’s ‘Robot’, during the same period.
The role being done by Govinda would be played by Pritviraj, who actually started his career in Tamil in a villain’s role in Kana Kandein. There are rumours that Karthik who last worked with Mani in Agninakshthram, will also be roped in to play an important role. Priyamani too will be playing a role in the film.
The movie is expected to start in Karaikudi from September 10, and will be shot in the forests of Madhya Pradesh. Mani’s all time favourite Isai Puyal A.R Rahman will be composing songs for this film which has now become one of the hottest projects in the country. Ace cameraman Manikandan who is now shooting for Priyadarsan’s Biloo Barber in Pollachi will be the man behind the camera.
