In a recent webinar session, ace director Mani Ratnam shared what he’s been doing during this lockdown and it looks like the ace director is planning to venture into the OTT platform very soon. He said, “What I’ve done is possibly, work on a few short films that we’re trying to do for digital platforms. Apart from that, working on some future scripts as well”. Woah! Well, does this mean Mani Ratnam is going to do some short films or web series related contents for OTT platforms? It looks like the plan is in the nascent stages and we’d get to hear more about it in the coming days.
However, it would definitely be pathbreaking and exciting to see a legendary director like Mani Ratnam venturing into the digital space. Also, we are still not sure if Mani Ratnam would direct it or just be a part of the writing process. Currently, he is busy with his mega big project, Ponniyin Selvan, which is going to be made as a two-part film.
This historical epic features a stellar cast that includes Chiyaan Vikram, Jayam Ravi, Karthi, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Trisha, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Prabhu, Jayaram, Sarath Kumar, Vikram Prabhu, Ashwin Kakamanu, Sobhita Dhulipala, Aadukalam Kishore, Rahman, Riyaz Khan, and others. Produced by Lyca, in association with Madras Talkies, Ponniyin Selvan has music by A.R.Rahman and cinematography by Ravi Varman. The shooting of this film will resume once the pandemic situation gets resolved. For now, you can check out the webinar video below:
