Mani Ratnam gears up for ‘revenge drama’ next

Contrary to reports that Mani Ratnam is working on a gangster project, we have reliable information that the film, starring Karthi and Dulquer Salmaan in the lead roles, will be a revenge drama. “The film will start rolling out from January and will be wrapped up in a period of three months. The theme of the film will subtly hint that ‘revenge is not the lone solution’,” says a source.

Keerthy Suresh is expected to play one of the female leads. The team is hunting for another lead heroine to join the cast. The technical crew comprises of AR Rahman and cameraman Ravi Varma, who is working with Mani Ratnam for the first time.
