MovieCrow Exclusive: Putting an end to the ongoing speculation, our sources confirm that reports about Mani Ratnam collaborating with Sai Abhyankar are untrue.

Instead, Mani Ratnam is once again joining hands with his long-time collaborator A. R. Rahman, with the Oscar-winning composer having already begun work on the film’s music. The iconic duo, who have shared a creative partnership spanning over three decades, continue to strengthen their legacy with yet another ambitious project.

The yet-to-be-titled film is expected to feature Vijay Sethupathi and Sai Pallavi in lead roles, marking a fresh and exciting on-screen pairing that has already generated strong buzz.

While further details regarding the film’s genre, supporting cast, and production timeline remain under wraps, the project is progressing steadily behind the scenes. With the Mani Ratnam–Rahman combo at the helm, expectations are naturally high, especially for the film’s music, which has historically been a major highlight of their collaborations.

More official updates on the project are expected to be announced soon
