Acclaimed filmmaker Mani Ratnam who has started his first schedule of his next venture Kadal, which has a backdrop of Rameswaram fishermen, is planning to release it during Diwali.
According to sources, the film which has Samantha and Gautham, son of veteran actor Karthik in the lead has been lapped up Gemini Films for a whopping Rs 25 crore on a first copy basis.
Apart from Mani, Kadal has yet another alluring factor —- AR Rahman’s music, and the duo is known to create magic when they work together
Kadal shoot is progressing at Kottayam in Kerala. Veteran actor Karthik's son Gautham, Arjun Sarja and Arvind Swamy are in Kerala for the five-day shoot.
"The Kadal team is in Kerala on a short visit and will be going back on Wednesday evening. However, the team will be back soon for a month-long schedule by the end of April or by the beginning of May," says a source.
Kadal, as the title suggests, has sea as its backdrop. And Mani Ratnam has aptly selected Kerala for a major part of the shoot. Keeping the fishermen issue as the subject, Mani Ratnam has penned a romantic tale set in the coastal region. Samantha plays the female lead in the movie. Lakshmi Manchu is also doing an important role. A R Rahman and Rajeev Menon are handling music and cinematography respectively in Kadal.
