Mani Ratnam Knows His Limitations

‘Ok Kanmani’ or ‘Ok Bangaran’ in Telugu reinvented the lost craze of Mani Ratnam. Instead of touching the experimental genres which are prone to high uncertainty, Mani preferred simple love story in the shades of ‘Sakhi’ and the result of ‘Ok Bangaram’ is simply a super hit. This time, Mani Ratnam isn’t interested to take rest enjoying the success of ‘Ok Kanmani’ for long.

He is on the work for his next assignment and Kollywood reports say, Mani has signed Karthi as hero for this upcoming flick. Script is in final stages of completion and Mani is still holding talks with Karthi before an official announcement is expected. Better advantage from Karthi is, he has decent market value in Tollywood and he is superbly safe in Kollywood with plundering openings guaranteed. So, Mani can plan a bi-lingual.
