Mani Ratnam is ready with his new film Ponniyan Selvan. The film releases this September and the promotions have started.
Not many know that Mani Ratnam wanted to make this film for a long time now. He wanted to make this film with Kamal Haasan in 1994 but things did not materialize.
In 2010, he approached Mahesh Babu to play the role of Arulmozhi Verman and even Mahesh showed interest. But sadly, Mani Ratnam did not find financiers to bank this biggie.
Finally, in 2019, he found financiers and started the film with Vikram, Karthi, Jayam Ravi, and Aishwarya Rai. If the film would have been made in 2010, Mahesh would have been part of this film for sure.
