If reports are to be believed, Mani Ratnam is planning to revive Lajjo which was accumulating dust on the shelf for a long time. Mani started this project with AR Rahman scoring the music for the Gulzar written lyrics. However, the film did not take off as it was considered economically not viable to go on with the shooting at that time. Things have changed for the better now and Mani has decided to go on with Lajjo, we hear.

The director had signed up Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor to play the lead roles in the film. Sources report that the stars will be retained. However, there is no confirmation on this news from Mani or Aamir.
