Mani Ratnam gathers the magical Alaipayuthey team for his next; PC Sreeram joins

Mani Ratnam’s next project is the talk of the tinsel town since last week. Earlier, we reported here that his next film will be a romantic tale on the lines of Alaipayuthey. Not only the story is modelled like Alaipayuthey, but Mani Ratnam is assembling together his magical technical team of the film. PC Sreeram has been roped in to handle cinematography and editor Sreekar Prasad will take care of editing work.

While Sreekar Prasad has been a regular in Mani Ratnam’s films since Alaipayuthey, PC Sreeram lastly worked with Mani Ratnam in Alaipayuthey. In fact, in the last 14 years, AR Rahman and Sreekar Prasad have been the only two constants in all Mani Ratnam films. There are reliable reports that Dulquer Salmaan will play the lead role. The team is on the lookout for the female lead and an official announcement will be made soon. The project will go on the floors soon after PC Sreeram completes R.Balki’s Shamitabh.
