After the success of “
O Kadhal Kanmani
” with
Dulquer Salmaan
and
Nithya Menen
in the lead,
Mani Ratnam
worked with a lot of enthusiasm in his next,
Kaatru Veliyidai
. The film has
Karthik Sivakumar
and
Aditi Rao Hydari
in the lead roles. The film didn’t go well as expected. Initially, Mani Ratnam booked
Sai Pallavi
in the place of Aditi Rao Hydari. But, he replaced her saying that she is not matured enough for the role. So, many people say that if Kaatru Veliyidai had Sai Pallavi, it might have made a hit. Some fans of Sai Pallavi say that fortunately, Sai was dropped out from the flop project. When the talks are going like this, Mani Ratnam is said to have committed Aditi Rao again in his next film. It is heard that Aditi has given her call sheet to Madras Talkies. However, we have to wait for Mani Ratnam to confirm.
