Mani Ratnam is ready to wield the megaphone after a break. His yet-to-be-titled film will go on floors very soon, before which the ace director wants to record all the songs. “There will be six songs in total,” say circles close to him.
“Mani Ratnam, along with A.R Rahman and lyricist Vairamuthu, has already recorded a song. It is a soft romantic number which has melliflous music by the Oscar-Grammy winner and soothing lyrics from the Kaviperarsu,” they say further.
Ace actor Karthik‘s son Gautham is making his acting debut with this movie and a hunt is still on for the heroine. “A new face may be the leading lady of this film. Mani Ratnam is yet to take a final call on this,” the sources say.
To be produced on Mani Ratnam‘s Madras Talkies banner in association with a corporate house, the film, set in the backdrop of coastal regions of Tamil Nadu, has script by ace writer Jeyamohan. “Shooting will start soon,” conclude sources.

Mani ratnam is known for commencing his projects without a formal launch and ritually sticks to this habit from the very beginning. The star-casts for the film is yet to be confirmed, but the director has started working on the locations and other works.
Usually when the director has a project on the cards, A.R Rahman becomes the first one to kick-start it. He has already completed working on three songs and the first song was recorded this morning with lyrics of Vairamuthu.
The lyrics are reported to be so enchanting as it will sound like a lullaby to all the souls. It is not yet confirmed whether Manirathnam will be making this film bilingually and if so, it will be Gulzar penning the lyrics for Hindi version.
