OMG! Is Mani Ratnam planning to direct Rajinikanth and Mammootty again?

Mani Ratnam interview

Flashback to 1991. Three stalwarts of the south Indian movie industry came together for the blockbuster hit Thalapathy. This cult movie also had two different climaxes to suit the sensibilities of fans in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Thalapathy also had a star-studded cast - Aravind Swami, Amrish Puri, Srividya, Bhanupriya, and Shobana played important roles. 

Now, we are told that the Mani Ratnam is in talks with Rajinikanth and Mammootty for a new flick. The script is ready and the discussions are on. 

Even though there is no official confirmation, it is said that the movie will have a 2018 release.
