Arjun is a villain in Mani Ratnam’s flick

Arjun is often referred to as the action king, ever since he started his film career at the age of 19.

Today he’s still going strong as a hero. True to his title of action king, the actor has taken a daring step and agreed to play a compelling antagonist in maverick filmmaker Mani Ratnam’s next, which has the working title, Pookadai.

Sources tell DC that unlike Arjun’s role in the recent Ajith starrer Mankatha where the grey shades of his character are revealed only towards the climax, here in Mani’s flick he has a powerful negative role with an all-new, surprising look.

According to an insider, there are only five major characters in the film. The movie stars Gautham, son of veteran actor Karthik as the male lead, while his female costar hasn’t been finalised yet.

Rajeev Menon will be behind the camera with Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman scoring the music. The movie is expected to be a romantic story set against the backdrop of Rameswaram fishermen.

Mani Ratnam likely to cast Parthiban's daughter?
By Ambili [November 6, 2011]
Earlier we have reported that ace director Mani Ratnam will start his next project in the first week of October. According to sources, Mani Ratnam's next will be an intense love story based on the sensitive issue of plight of Rameshwaram fishermen at the hands of Sri Lankan Navy. The film will have actor Karthik's son Gautham in the lead role; the leading lady is yet to be finalized.

And now the latest buzz is that Parthiban's daughter Keerthana (of Kannathil Muthamitaal fame) is likely to be the heroine. Veteran cinematographer Rajeev Menon and music director A.R. Rahman will reportedly be a part of this project. It sure looks like the ace director is all set to recapture the magic of Roja, Mouna Raagam and Alaipayuthey again on screen.

Arjun in Mani Ratnam's film?

Arjun's eyeball - grabbing performance in Mankatha has made him one of the most sought after actors in the industry. The latest is that he will be playing the baddie in Mani Ratnam's film which will have Karthik's son Gautham in the lead. This film is going by the name Pookadai as of now.

Word is that it is the role of a lifetime and will give him equal footing as the hero. Arjun is very happy to be working with Mani and says that it is a blessing to land such a great role. Mani is still searching for a suitable heroine and once she is finalized, shooting will begin in earnest.
