After Guru in 2007, Master Craftsman Manirathnam is back with his next venture. As expected it will be a bilingual in Hindi and Tamil. The film yet to be titled will have Abhishek Bachchan playing the lead role in Hindi and for the first time, Vikram will star in Mani's film. The actor who is busy completing his forthcoming biggie 'Kandasamy' will play the lead in the Tamil Version. Understandably Vikram is all excited and upbeat on working with Maniratnam.

Mani' find and favourite Aishwarya Rai plays the female lead in both the versions. Well, Mani's films always have some pack of surprises in terms of casting and this film is no different. Prithviraj is donning the baddie cap in both the versions.

Whats more, its a dream team in the making with Ace Cameraman P C Sreeram and Manirathnam join g hands after a long break. The duo was last seen rocking in Alaipayudey. No prizes for guessing the Man Music for the film. Yes, A R Rahman. Shooting of the film is likely to commence in September this year.
