Mani Ratnam’s upcoming project has been confirmed to be a multi-starrer, which will include names like Simbu, Jyothika, Vijay Sethupathi, Arvind Swami and Aishwarya Rajesh with music by A. R. Rahman.


As of now, plot details for the film are kept under wraps and production is expected to kick-off sometime later this month. The film has generated quite a lot of expectations already with its power-packed ensemble cast and it looks like ace filmmaker Mani Ratnam isn’t done drawing his cards.


According to latest reports, rising Malayalam actor Antony Varghese has been cast for a vital role in the untitled film. The young actor turned out to be a revelation in his debut Angamaly Diaries in Malayalam last year. His performance as the character Vincent Pepe in the blockbuster film was hailed by fans as well as critics.


He is at present awaiting his next film, Swathanthryam Ardharathriyil, to come out sometime later this year and will be an added asset to the upcoming Mani Ratnam film, if confirmed.
