Mani Ratnam to start work on a romantic drama

Mani Ratnam is one of the finest filmmakers in Indian cinema. The impressive list of Tamil and Hindi films by the filmmaker has not only entertained fans but has also inspired other directors. The director’s upcoming film, Ponniyin Selvan, has created a lot of buzz. The team of Ponniyin Selvan completed two schedules of the film. The third schedule was about to begin in Puducherry. But the coronavirus pandemic brought things to stand still.

Ponniyin Selvan, starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in a double role, is based on a period drama novel by Kalki Krishnamurthy. It also Trisha, Jayam Ravi, Sobhita Dhulipala and Aishwarya Lekshmi.

Now, according to reports, Mani Ratnam wants to work on a romantic drama first and then go back to this great two-part saga. Though the filmmaker has not revealed more about this secret project, we’re already excited. His romcom OK Kanmani, starring Dulquer Salmaan and Nithya Menen, was lapped up by the audiences.
