Yes. This is the latest buzz in Kollywood. One of India's premier
filmmakers, Mani Ratnam, joining hands with the talented Vikram is a
dream come for movie buffs.

Reliable sources indicate that the duo will come together for a
project that will be unique and special. Vikram is currently shooting
for Kanthasamy which is directed by Mani Ratnam's protégé Susi
Ganesan. He is expected to do Mani's film after completing Kanthasamy.
The fact that Vikram has postponed his film with Bhoopathy Pandian,
which he was supposed to do after Kanthasamy, adds credibilty to the news.

Mani Ratnam, who struck gold in Bollywood with Guru last year, was
supposed to do Lajjo with Aamir Khan. However, the project has fallen
off the tracks as Aamir is busy with his Ghajini. Hence, the maker is
planning to make a Tamil film with Vikram in the lead.

Meanwhile, there are also reports that Mani is planning to repeat the
lead in his previous film, Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, in a
breezy romantic film on the lines of his Alaipayuthey. The reports say
that the film will be in Hindi but will be dubbed into Tamil.

Well, we expect the director himself to put an end to such conflicting
reports.
