Rajkiran in Mani Ratnam movie
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,May 27 2010]
We heard some time back that Silambarasan would play the lead role in Mani RatnamÂs next. Buzz is now that Rajkiran too would be a part of the project which would go on floors post RaavananÂs release.
ÂThough Mani and Rajkiran come from different schools, the director is often appreciative of the actorÂs performance while the actor is a great admirer of movies directed by Mani. Both are coming together now, sources say.
They add: ÂRajkiranÂs role in the film is so different and it would be first time for the actor to do such a character. Likewise, SilambarasanÂs role too would be a straight contrast to the ones he did earlier.Â
Sources also maintain that the movie would be a bilingual to be simultaneously made in Hindi and Tamil. ÂWhile Vivek Oberoi would play the protagonist in the Bollywood version, Silambarasan would replace him in Tamil.Â
