Nearly 10 months after it was announced, legendary filmmaker Mani Ratnam’s next project will finally start rolling in the next week. Initially, Mani Ratnam planned a trilingual multistarrer, but the project didn’t take off due to various reasons. Later, he started working on a new script and roped in Karthi to play the lead role. Due to the tight schedule of the remaining cast and crew, the project got delayed.

Tipped to be a romantic entertainer, the untitled project will be shot extensively in Chennai, Ooty and Kashmir. Karthi plays a pilot in the film and he has already underwent intensive training for his role. Aditi Rao Hydari has been roped in to play the female lead. AR Rahman will handle the music settings and Ravi Verman will crank the camera for this crazy project.

Mani Ratnam and Thenandal Films will jointly bankroll this film.
