Sources say Mani Ratnam had invited Rajkiran to his office a few days ago discussed a role in his forthcoming bilingual. Mani's ‘Raavan’ is all ready and set to hit the theatres. Mani had even released a teaser for ‘Raavan’ to confirm things.

After releasing ‘Raavan’ Mani will start again a bilingual in Tamil and Hindi. Mani wants Rajkiran to play an important character in the Tamil version of the new venture. That was the reason for the hush meeting. Mani has tentatively titled the new film ‘Aasaan’ and scheduled to start the shoot in November.

Meanwhile sources close to Rajkiran says that Rajkiran will launch a new film titled 'Thirumangalathu Yaanai' in the first week of June. It will be produced and directed by Rajkiran himself. And he hopes to be ready for Mani's film in November.
