Mani Ratnam likely to cast Parthiban's daughter?

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.
