Mani Ratnam's next movie?

One question which everybody has on their mind now! We all know that Mani Ratnam’s dream project Ponniyin Selvan has been shelved due to budget constraints. So what’s next?

Kollywood rumour mills now say that Mani Ratnam will direct Vijay in a complete action entertainer. Since the director already has Vijay’s dates (which he signed for Ponniyin Selvan), he is now considering a complete action entertainer on the lines of Thalapathy and Agni Natchataram.

Meanwhile, there are also reports that the director will soon launch actor Karthik’s son Gautham in his upcoming project. Reportedly, the film, an urban love story, will be completely shot in cosmopolitan cities with a major portion being filmed in London. The rest of the star cast would be finalized shortly. Veteran cinematographer P.C. Sriram and music director A.R. Rahman will be a part of this project.

Superstar Rajinikanth has been discharged from the hospital in Singapore where he was admitted late last month for respiratory problems. He has spoken to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on the phone to congratulate her on her recent victory in the state elections. He also told her he would return to India soon.

The actor's son-in-law, Dhanush tweeted: "Superstar discharged from hospital. He has recovered completely and taking rest. Soon national award celebrations :) god bless"

His family said the actor is on a vacation and will return to India in July.

Rajinikanth was shooting for the Tamil period film "Rana" on April 29 when he complained of exhaustion. Since then, he has been in and out of different hospitals.

He travelled to Singapore on May 28 where he was admitted to the Mount Elizabeth Hospital.
