something
doubly interesting about this project –
the stars that will play this couple are
Abishek and Ash. The glittering echo between
the fictional and the real couple is obvious,
adding to the buzz.
It’s nice to have Mani Ratnam come
back from larger than life stories like
Guru to doing something more intimate, feel-good,
lyrical and romantic. And where there’s
Mani there’s always that other maestro,
A.R.Rahman. Taking a cue from the story
and theme of this yet untitled movie, the
model for Rahman’s songs could well
be Alaipaiyuthey. Richly lyrical romantic
ballads, intoxicatingly choreographed and
shot. Which brings us to the cinematographer
– rumour has it that Mani is most
likely going to bring his veteran cameraman
in - P.C. Sriram. If you recall, P.C. and
Mani together revolutionized the use of
lighting and camera work in Tamil cinema
once. Rumour also has it that the Big B
will make a cameo. But let’s wait
and see what develops – with this
publicity shy director
nothing is confirmed until he confirms it.
