Few weeks ago, there were many reports about a film planned by Maniratnam with Mahesh Babu and Vikram in the lead. This movie will be based on 15th century historical happenings and will be an adaptation to Tamil classic ‘Ponniyan Selvan’ and will be made on a high budget with lavish settings.
Now, Tamil media has come with the latest development that Maniratnam has replaced Mahesh Babu with Suriya while Vikram will stay as usual. This period drama can be considered as one braver attempt from Maniratnam who always strives for innovative scripts. If the film goes onto production stages soon, then Mahesh can be called to have missed a golden opportunity.
