Mani Ratnam's much talked multi-starrer project which is being planned as a Telugu-Tamil bilingual has been stalled due to the call sheets issue of the lead actors.
Apparently, 'Ok Bangaram' Fame Dulquer Salmaan and Karthi are the first choice to play lead roles in the multistarrer. However, Dulquer Salmaan backed out of the project citing prior commitments. It's then Hero Nani who dubbed for Dulquer's role in 'Ok Bangaram' was roped in his place as one of the leads. Sadly, Things didn't go as per the plan and the project has been kept in cold storage due to the call sheets issue.
Mani Ratnam has moved on to his next project which is going to be a fresh script with a taut screenplay. Details about the cast & crew will be announced after the pre-production.
It's really unfortunate that an filmmaker of Mani's stature has been facing so many problems whenever he is casting for his films these days. Hopefully, These hurdles only brings out the best of the Genius!
