Sonam in Mani's next

The actress plans to venture into Tamil cinema, will star in the award winning director's upcoming project

Subhash K Jha and Mehul Thakkar

Posted On Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 02:04:20 AM


She has never starred in a regional film and he was to direct a Hindi film. But that's about to change for Sonam Kapoor and director Mani Ratnam. Mumbai Mirror has learnt that the actress has been approached by the filmmaker for his next Tamil project. Initially, Ratnam was to direct a Hindi film with Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, but since the couple recently became parents, the director had to put the project on the back burner.

Sonam's friend revealed to us that initially the actress was skeptical about working in a regional film. "Sonam's dad convinced her to do the film, since Anil himself had started his career with a Telugu film. She will be required to learn enough of the language to understand her dialogue, however, her lines will ultimately be dubbed," explained Sonam's friend.

Apparently, the romantic film is not only a first for Sonam. Reportedly, the project will launch the career of Tamil actor Karthik's son Gautham.

When we asked Sonam about her decision to star in a regional project, the actress said, "We (the Hindi film industry) are always remaking regional movies. I would rather be a part of the original. I wouldn't like to comment on working with Mani sir. But yes, I would love to do something amazing, after Players. However, nothing is confirmed yet."

W*F? asfdkgjdfifoadjg

Okay. okay. *deep breaths*

This cannot be happening. Sonam could potentially ruin a Ratnam film. Mani sirs movies are layered, beautifully made and require genuine actors. People who can show a range of emotions.

This movie i think is called Pookkadai, and rumor had it that Thulasi (daughter of older actress Radhika) would be the heroine. A while ago there was also talk that the film would revolve around the age of classical tamil, or the Chola dynasty. Not sure anymore though.

I like Sonam as a popular media personality, and a fashionista, but no way do i want to her in a Ratnam film. Hoping this is false.

What's with Sonam working with directors who wanted to work with Ash & Abhi but can't! Sonam & Bachchans bonding?

But it's great! Happy Shappy! A movie with Abhay/Santoshi and a movie with Mani Ratnam! NICE!

I don't know in what context Anil Kapoor was speaking when he said Sonam makes other girls jealous. But this will surely make other actresses jealous, if there is any truth to this! A lead role in a Mani Ratnam movie is a dream come true for any actor.

I'm very excited that Aishwarya has her 5th Mani Ratnam flick in her kitty. So her upcoming movies are with - Mani, SLB, Santoshi, Rituparno Ghosh, Viacom18's next - amazing line-up yet again!

Oh boo, I'm more disappointed that Aishwarya and Abhi have been offered ANOTHER project together.
If this is true then I REALLY hope Abhi's not cast as the male lead in SLBs next!

Oh c'mon give her a break.
she is just a newcomer who is exploring the opportunities she's getting. how many of you have checked out preity, rani, kareena, madhuri, juhi , karishma and priyanka's firsr 10 films, they were not that good...
yes 1 or 2 of the 10 may be blockbusters but the rest 8 of them were just not worth watching. They are established only now after maybe 5 yrs in the industry.
let them try out first...instead of writing them off...the directors rakesh om prakash mehra, mani ratnam, SLB are not foolish to pick her for the movie...they must have given some thought abt it
