More on : Mani Ratnam Next Movie

After three back-to-back films with Abhishek Bachchan, director Mani Ratnam wants Ranbir Kapoor for his next Hindi film.

The maverick moviemaker is currently wrapping up Raavan with Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and will move to his next film with Ranbir in the lead as soon as Raavan (now in post-production) releases on June 18.


In fact, Mani had shown keen interest in working with Ranbir right after Saawariya. The two had spoken about a project, which got postponed as Mani got busy with Raavan. But now those talks will result in a film. Though sources close to the actor say it's too early to talk about the project, the news from Mani's front is that the film written by Rensil d'Silva (who also wrote Raavan) is a coming-of-age story about a young NRI in London.

As soon as Ranbir finishes the intensive promotion work for his new release Raajneeti, Mani will narrate the scipt to the young actor. RK has, incidentally, also greenlighted his best-friend Ayaan (Wake Up,Sid) Mukerjee's next film which is in the scripting stage. As for the prestigious Mani project, the filmmaker's spokesperson says, "It's too early to talk about it. Right now Mani Sir and the entire team is focusing on the release of Raavan."
