The first look of ace director Mani Ratnam's Kaatru Veliyidai has created a lot of stir in the industry. The team is all set to begin the shooting soon with Karthy and Bollywood actress Aditi. Karthi will be playing the role of a pilot who will fall in love with a doctor while on a trip to India. The director has apparently asked Karthi to shed 10 kilos for the film and the actor is currently on a strict diet regime to get into shape. The first schedule will kickstart in Chennai and then will move to Kashmir.
AR Rahman is the music director while Ravi Varman will take care of the lens. From the first look, it looks like the film will be an intense love story with a war backdrop. The film will be jointly produced by Madras Talkies and Thenandal Films.
