Mani Ratnam’s Next with Vijay Sethupathi Gets Big Update

Legendary filmmaker Mani Ratnam is moving ahead at a brisk pace with his next project featuring Vijay Sethupathi and Sai Pallavi in the lead roles. The film has already generated immense curiosity among movie lovers, especially after the disappointing performance of Thug Life. Fans are eager to see Mani Ratnam return to his strongest genre—romantic dramas.

The latest update is that the makers have finalized the film’s music. Contrary to earlier speculation about a new composer coming on board, A.R. Rahman has been confirmed as the music director. This marks yet another collaboration between the iconic filmmaker and the Oscar-winning composer, a combination that has delivered several memorable soundtracks over the years.

Vijay Sethupathi, who previously worked with Mani Ratnam in Chekka Chivantha Vaanam, is teaming up with the ace director for the second time. Sai Pallavi, on the other hand, will be working with Mani Ratnam for the very first time, making the project even more exciting.

The film is being produced by Madras Talkies in association with Lyca Productions and is expected to be a musical romantic drama. Shooting has either commenced or is set to begin shortly, with the team aiming to complete the project at a steady pace.

With Mani Ratnam, Vijay Sethupathi, Sai Pallavi, and A.R. Rahman joining forces, expectations are naturally sky-high for this prestigious project.
