"Since the release of 'Bengal Tiger' last year, Ravi hasn't signed any new project. Though he's said to be in talks for a few projects including Telugu action-comedy aRobin Hood', he hasn't started working on it yet. The latest update from his camp is that hea¿s expressed to remake recent Tamil film 'Manithan'," a source close to the actor told IANS.

"Manithana, official remake of "Jolly LLB", has appealed to both audiences and critics alike.

"It was after watching 'Manithan' that Ravi felt he'd be perfect to star in its remake. Having starred in back-to-back out-and-out commercial outings over the last few years, Ravi felt ita¿d be nice for a change to attempt a film like 'Manithan'," the source said.

Ravi is yet to officially give his consent for the project. However, talks have been initiated with the makers of the original.
