When the news is out about Ponniyin Selvan being shelved it has dishearten many of his fans and also Vijay and Mahesh Babu. But the team of Mani Ratnam is happy as the project didn't take off which is profitably not viable. There are lots of expectations about the film both in Kollywood and Tollywood as Mani has roped in leading stars of both the industries respectively.

Latest buzz we get to know from the sources close to the director is that, he is currently busy working on three different scripts. It seems like Mani's next first choice is going to be a breezy romantic and comedy entertainer which has all new comers in the lead roles. The auditions for the new comers are currently at the initial stages.

Is this film is similar to Alaipayuthey or Is Mani planning for a sequel of Alaipayuthey is to be answered by him.
