Ace director Mani Ratnam’s upcoming project with Karthi has completed all the pre-production works and has fixed to start the principal shooting from July 8. The lovelady for Karthi is confirmed to be the Bollywood actress Aditi Rao Hydari making her Kollywood and even her South Indian cine industry debut.
The handsome actor will be playing an NRI pilot in this romantic musical flick and he has turned his looks attractive quite opposite to those in Kashmora. He had a tonsured look in the horror thriller and needed a 3-month break to get back his charm. This flick will have more importance given to music and A.R.Rahman will be scoring his magical tunes.
Meanwhile we hear that the movie's title would be Kaatru Veliyidai. Cinematographer Ravi Varman is roped in to crank the camera and he will be coming back to Kollywood after 7 years. It was in 2009 when he worked for Prabhu Deva in Villu after which he has drifted to Bollywood and his recent work was Ranbir-Deepika starrer Tamasha.
