After the setback of “Thug Life,” which starred Kamal Haasan, veteran filmmaker Mani Ratnam is reportedly shifting gears. The director is said to be planning a lighter romantic drama for his next project.
The film will feature Vijay Sethupathi and Sai Pallavi as the lead pair.
While Vijay Sethupathi has previously shared screen space with top actresses like Katrina Kaif and Trisha, his pairing with Sai Pallavi is expected to bring a fresh dynamic.
Both actors are widely regarded as powerhouse performers, raising expectations for this collaboration.
Sai Pallavi is currently juggling multiple high-profile projects. She is playing a key role in "Ramayana" and is also rumored to be part of Prabhas’s upcoming sequel, "Kalki 2."
The yet-to-be-titled film will be jointly produced by Lyca Productions and Madras Talkies. The project is expected to go on floors this summer.
