Sources say Atharvaa Murali is in talks to play the lead role in Mani Ratnam’s next project. It must be noted that late actor Murali, father of Atharvaa, was part of Mani Ratnam’s first two Tamil features including Pagal Nilavu and Idhaya Kovil.
Mani Ratnam is currently busy with the shooting of Kaatru Veliyidai in Ladakh. The team is on the verge of completing the Kashmir schedule and will head to Chennai soon. Produced by Madras Talkies, Kaatru Veliyidai stars Karthi and Aditi Rao Hydari as leads. The movie will be presented by Sri Thenandal Films in Tamil Nadu.
