All is set for lucky glam gal Samanta to work with sensational director Maniratnam. Yes, shooting of Mani’s new film titled as ‘Kadali’ (‘Kadal’ in Tamil) has began in Manapad, a coastal village between Tuticorin and Tiruchendur. As per the latest buzz, film is a pure love story with different backdrop. Obviously, when the narration is in the hands of Mani, it is likely to be very lucid. Hero to be introduced with ‘Kadali’ is Tamil actor Karthik’s son Gautham who will romance the female lead Samanta while Lakshmi Manchu plays a key role. Arjun is the antagonist and Aravind Swamy dons a crucial character in the film. No guesses, AR Rahman is scoring the music. In fact, Sam is fortuante enough to work with commercial directors like SS Rajamouli, Srinu Vytla in Telugu and top league award winning men like Maniratnam and Gautham Menon in Tamil.
