Mani Ratnam is back.  Not with a breezy love story like 'OK Bangaram'.  This time, as Karthi says, it's an intense romance-actioner.  A character-driven story, it's set in Kashmir.

As the film hits the screens on April 7, the lovers of Mani-style films are eager to immerse in a lovely mood.  Karthi, who is playing a pilot in the movie, falls in love with a doctor, played by Aditi Rao Hydari.  Strong human relationships are the film's forte.  Although set in Kashmir, 'Cheliyaa' has nothing to do with terrorism or politics.

AR Rahman's music and Dil Raju's presentation have resulted in strong positive vibes around the movie.  For the discerning, there are also 'Sirivennela' Seetharama Sastry's lyrics.
