A strong gossip is making round in the Chennai film circles that Mani Ratnam’s dream project Ponniyin Selvan is called-off. It is also heard that the filmmakers have also informed Vijay, Mahesh Babu, Arya, and Anushka to de-freeze, their dates given for Ponniyin Selvan.
Mahesh was quite happy signing this bilingual with the ace director Mani Ratnam.
However, this historical project is called-off due to its over-budget of approximately 100 Crores. Producers and the corporate houses are not ready to risk on the film in the current situations. Also, the movie doesn’t offer any commercial elements and Mani Ratnam’s previous outing Raavan resulting as disaster is making the producers think twice. As of now, the movie has been shelved.
The project will kick-start, if any of the producers or the corporate houses are willing to invest an amount of 100 crores.
