Manisha Koirala and Lisa Ray in Rahman's 99 songs

Manisha Koirala and Lisa Ray will be seen in Grammy and Oscar winning composer AR Rahman's upcoming film 99 Songs.

Rahman, who has co-produced and written the script of the film, took to Facebook on Wednesday to reveal the cast of his film.

Directed by Vishwesh Krishnamoorthy, 99 Songs will also feature Raghu Ram and newcomers Ehan Bhat, Edilsy Varghese and Tenzin Dalha. Earlier, Rahman had shared that the lead couple of the film -- Ehan and Edilsy -- was chosen from around 1,000 auditions and the film will have 10 to 12 tracks.

"For the past couple of years, we have taken the time necessary to hold around 1,000 auditions so that we could find the right boy and girl. I think we have found those special people who have brought freshness and talent to the screen," Rahman wrote.
