Mani Ratnam to direct Dhruv Vikram
After the failure of Thug Life at the box-office, Maniratnam has decided to change track in his next film, which will have Dhruv Vikram in the lead role opposite Rukmini Vasanth of Ace fame. A.R. Rahman will score the music. There has been much speculation ranging from an action romance to a cop thriller, but there has been no official announcement about the film’s genre. The film is set to start shooting this November.
