No more Bachchan's for Ratnam

If recent rumours are to be believed, then it is being heard that Mani Ratnam has shown his back to Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for the time being. The much hyped Raavan did little to live upto its expectations at box office. Further, Mr. Amitabh Bachchan circuitously blamed the editor and the director of the film. Mani did not take this particular criticism from Big B well; consequently, he has had second thoughts about casting Abhishek for his next venture, which is said to be in the casting stage at the moment.


Significant sources confirm that Ranbir Kapoor has been finalized for the same. Additionally, Ratnam is keen on casting Imran Khan as the second lead for the movie. The actor has already been approached with the offer and if things fall into place for Imran and Ratnam, then it'll indeed be a treat for those who have long waited to see the boy duo together on screen, especially recalling their entertaining success from the Filmfare stage.


BollyCurry wishes Mani Ratnam the best wishes for his future projects and hopefully in the end 'all is well'.
