Ace director's last film, Chekka Chivantha Vaanam, that had Simbu, Vijay Sethupathi, Arun Vijay, Arvind Swami, Jyothika, Aditi Rao Hydari, Aishwarya Rajesh and Dayana Erappa in the lead roles released on 28th September.
The film had a good run at the theatres, and also received positive reviews from most people. It did well at the box office too. A few weeks ago, rumours were going around on social media that the director's next film is an adaptation of Ponniyin Selvan.
Sources close to us have clarified that the project is not taking off anytime soon, but is definitely on the cards. Right now, Mani Ratnam is only focussing on the production of his assistant director Dhanasekar's film.
Considering the huge production value associated with the multistarrer Ponniyin Selvan, we can expect the movie to hit the screens in 2020. Stay tuned for more updates on the project.
