We had previously reported about Vijay Sethupathi confirming his reunion with Mani Ratnam in a recent interview. The yet-to-be-titled project will have Sai Pallavi playing the female lead. While most details regarding it has been shrouded in mystery, it has now come to light that young composer Sai Abhyankkar has reportedly been approached to score music for the film.
A confirmation regarding the same is yet to arrive from the makers or actors themselves. It is to be noted that the composer is also speculated to compose music for Rajinikanth-Kamal Haasan's Thalaivar 173. However, there has been no official word on it as of now.
Speaking about reuniting with Mani Ratnam, Vijay Sethupathi said, “I’ve worked with Mani Sir before, in Chekka Chivantha Vaanam in 2018. This time we will be doing something completely different.”
The Ace actor also detailed that he does not want to repeat roles or do remakes or sequels. "That Vijay Sethupathi, who entered the film industry seeking small roles, is still alive. I want to make sure he remains alive even if he is working with Mani Ratnam. When I came into the cinema, all I wanted to do was to stand in front of the camera and say my dialogues. Even today, I feel so alive when I’m in front of the camera.”
Details about the genre, plot, extended cast and crew of the upcoming Mani Ratnam directorial remain unconfirmed.
Meanwhile, Sai Abhyankkar has been basking in the fame of back-to-back successes with his film and indie numbers. After earning massive acclaim for Pradeep Ranganathan's Dude album, he recently released his latest single 'Pavazha Malli' which has been ranking up on the top of streaming charts since its release. Up next, he has several high-profile projects in his kitty including Suriya's Karuppu, Raghava Lawrence's Benz, Allu Arjun-Atlee's untitled big budget project AA22xA6 with Allu Arjun and Karthi's Marshal.
