That 'Jayam' Ravi is going to work with director Samuthirakani in a Tamil-Telugu bilingual is no more news. That Amala Paul is the heroine of the project too is not news. The big buzz is that the 'Thillalangadi' actor is playing a 48-year-old man!

According to sources, Ravi is doing a dual role, and one of them is that of the man in his late forties. While the young character played by the actor will be gentle, the old one will be a flirt, add sources.

Remember Superstar Rajinikanth played a similar role in 'Netri Kan'. However, sources are quick to deny that there will be no similarities between these two movies. "This one is a totally new script penned by Samuthirakani."

Shooting for the movie is expected to kick start soon. Meanwhile, Ravi is gearing up to do a movie titled 'Boologam'. To be directed by debutant Kalyan Krishna, the flick is produced by V Ravichandran of Aascar Films.
