Mani's Ponniyin Selvan shelved?


Has Mani Ratnam shelved his dream project Ponniyin Selvan?

The Kollywood grapevine is abuzz that the project has been put on the backburner!
It's strongly rumoured that the  lead actors Vijay, Mahesh Babu, Arya, Anushka have been informed that they can "de-freeze", their dates allotted for the film.

The shoot of the film was to start in October.
Madras Talkies the producers of the film have been hunting around for a big corporate production house to fund the project which will cost Rs 100 Cr plus.

They were in talks with UTV, Sun Pictures and Eros, but nothing seems to have come out of it.
However, Madras Talkies have so far officially not announced the project, so there need not be any clarification regarding it.

Mani Ratnam has worked six months on the script of the film, and it is his pet project, something he will not give up easily.

At the moment Mani is holidaying abroad and a final decision may be taken once he comes back in the first week of May.
