Mani Ratnam Opens Up On His Next With Naveen Polishetty

Legendary filmmaker Mani Ratnam is currently busy with the release work of his upcoming film Thug Life, which is scheduled to hit theaters on June 5, 2025. The film is expected to make a big splash at the box office.

Recently there were reports suggesting that Mani Ratnam would be teaming up with actor Naveen Polishetty and actress Rukmini Vasanth for a new love story. These rumors quickly went viral and created a buzz among fans raising their excitement levels.

However Mani Ratnam has now responded to these rumors and denied them completely. When asked about the news, he said, "Not at all. Even that is news to me. I have no clue what they are talking about."

The director also shared an update about his future projects, saying, "I'm working on a couple of scripts but don't know what will materialize." This clearly shows that nothing has been officially planned yet regarding his upcoming films.

As of now, Mani Ratnam is fully focused on Thug Life which stars Kamal Haasan in the lead role. The film is in its final stages of post production. Until his current project is completed, it seems the filmmaker is not making any commitments about new projects.

In short, the popular director has asked fans not to believe in false news. He has not confirmed any project with Naveen Polishetty and Rukmini Vasanth. His next move will be known only after the release of Thug Life.
