Mani Ratnam isn't making his forthcoming film 'Kadal' in Tamil alone. He's shooting it as a bilingual- simultaneously in Telugu besides. The Tollywood version of the movie, consistent with sources, have been titled 'Kadali'.
"The cause of Mani picking Samantha, Arjun and Lakshmi Manchu to play key roles in 'Kadal' is they would fit the bill well within the Telugu version as well, because the three are popular faces in Andhra Pradesh," sources say.
Yesteryear hero Karthik's son Gautham is the protagonist of 'Kadal', that is set within the backdrop of the lives of fishermen. Shooting for the movie recently got a kickstart at Manapad, a coast village in southern Tamil Nadu.
"Mani, who gives utmost importance to the script, has penned Kadal's screenplay and dialogues in association with ace writer Jeyamohan, who's accustomed to the language and lifestyle of fishermen. That is to offer authenticiy to the script," add sources.
