Ace filmmaker Mani Ratnam is all set to collaborate once again with actor Vijay Sethupathi for a soulful romantic drama. This marks their second partnership after the 2018 multi-starrer hit Chekka Chivantha Vaanam. The film will also feature Rukmini Vasanth as the female lead, bringing her back alongside Sethupathi after their earlier film Ace.
The project will be a soft love story exploring deep human emotions and relationships, presented in Mani Ratnam’s signature style. The director is expected to reunite with his trusted crew — cinematographer Ravi Varman and music maestro A.R. Rahman — both of whom have worked with him on several acclaimed films.
Rukmini Vasanth, who reportedly played a key role in the casting process, is said to be thrilled about this opportunity. Fans believe this collaboration could mark a major turning point in her career, as Mani Ratnam is known for bringing out the emotional depth in his actors.
This announcement has generated significant excitement in the film industry, especially after Mani Ratnam’s recent film Thug Life, which starred Kamal Haasan, Silambarasan, and Trisha. Although it received mixed reviews, critics praised its visuals and performances.
Meanwhile, Vijay Sethupathi is keeping busy, having also signed an action film with director Siruthai Siva. With back-to-back projects in romance and action, the versatile actor is set to showcase his range once again on the big screen.
