It seems Mani Ratnam has zeroed in on a title for his next venture. If reports are to be believed, the ace filmmaker, who is getting ready to launch Karthik's son Gautham in the movie, has named it 'Pookkadai'.
"Remember it was Mani Ratnam who directed the two important films in Karthik's career- Agni Natchathiram and Mouna Ragam. And he was the one who announced the reentry of Karthik in Raavanan," sources say.
"The good rapport between the actor and the filmmaker has now resulted in the latter introducing the former's son as hero. The movie will be a typical Mani kind of urban love story with music by A R Rahman," they add.
"The director is now keenly watching the responses evoked by his last release 'Raavanan' and 'Raavan'. In the meantime, he is also busy doing groundwork for his next venture. He may reveal the details soon," sources maintain.
