It is already known that Mani Ratnam's next film will be starring Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai. Souther superstar Vikram has also been signed on to play a major role in the movie.

The film which is being made in both Hindi and Tamil, will have Abhishek paired opposite Ash in the Hindi version of course. Vikram also is believed to have a strong and interesting role in the Hindi version. But the Tamil version will not feature Abhishek. In that version, Ash will be paired opposite Vikram. So the Southern actor gets a chance to play two roles in the two versions of the movie. This will be Vikram's debut in Hindi films. The actor is quite confident about his Hindi but not so confident that he would have been able to pull off the lead in the Hindi version. Let's hope that his luck at the box office is better than his previous male counterparts from the south.
