Everyone is naturally eager to know what Rajini's next film is going to be and as if in reply to that was a meeting between Rajini and Mani Ratnam.

A few days back, cinesouth had published a news that Rajini had watched a Hindi film and that could most probably result in his acting in a Tamil remake of that film.

That same evening, Rajini had secretly visited Mani Ratnam's office in Mandaveli. It is learnt that Mani Ratnam had narrated a story to Rajini in a meeting spanning around 2 hours. The next day also, the two are supposed to have had a long meeting, so it is surmised in Kodambakkam that Rajini could next be acting under Mani Ratnam's direction.

In 1990, Rajini acted in 'Dalapathy' directed by Mani Ratnam. So if this deal works out, the two of them will be collaborating after 17 years.

This film could be made in Tamil, Telugu and Hindu for simultaneous release.
