Mani Ratnam the ace director is working on a film called Ponniyan Selvam with a budget of around Rs 500 crore. It is supposed to be a Pan Indian Movie.
There is a lot of Hungama going around this movie. Mani is heavily banking on this movie.
He was in Hyderabad for shooting some portions. It is going to be a different movie, but how far the people will accept it has to be seen in the near future.
Mani is hell-bent upon getting the hit this time. His last movie Nawab could not make it at the box office. people said that Mani Ratnam has lost his magic touch.
Now Ratnam is trying to reinvent himself with the movie Ponniyan Selvam. They are waiting for the right time to release the movie. It could be for December this year-end or for next year Sankranthi.
We have to see how far the Telugu people would be interested in this Tamil directors movie. Mani rose to fyaame with Roja and was at the top with Nayakan.
Now he is struggling to make a hit.
