Mani makes money!

Mani Ratnam's Guru is celebrating 50 days run today. Though
Bollywood trade is reluctant to admit that the film is a hit, it is the first
hit of the year. Mani has made his Bollywood critics eat crow. They have been
saying that he does not understand the Hindi film sentiments and all his
straight films in Hindi like Dil Se and Yuva were turkeys at the box-office.
Guru made at a cost of approximately Rs 10 Crore by Madras Talkies has
grossed nearly Rs 41 Crore from domestic Indian market. And overseas Guru is
this year's biggest hit, and is reported to have got a distributors share of Rs
14 Crore!
Now that he has proved that he can deliver hits at the Bollywood box-office,
people in Mumbai are paying more attention to his next film Lajjo. The film has
Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor in the lead, with music by A.R Rahman and camera
is handled by P.C Sreeram.
Mani is now writing the script of the film which will start rolling sometime
in September this year. Mani has no immediate plans to direct a Tamil film, as
there is more money to be made in Bollywood!
