If you're wondering if we are referring to Shruti Haasan, then you haven't got it right.

Kollywood grapevine is abuzz that Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan's second daughter, Akshara will make her debut as an actress in Tamil cinema through Mani Ratnam's next. As earlier reported Karthik's son will make a debut as well through this film and Mani has Akshara as that perfect face for this yet-to-be-titled venture.

Akshara, who has been working as an assistant director to Rahul Dholakia, a renowned Bollywood director, it seems has always been keen in learning the nuances of filmmaking. And Mani Ratnam seems to have convinced her to don the greasepaint.

Just a couple of days back reports where out that Mani Ratnam and Ajith were on talks for a project, looks like that has been put on hold.

An official announcement on the other cast and crew of this film will be out soon.
