Mani Ratnam's Kargil Film

A Major corporate house from Mumbai has signed Mani Ratnam to make this film. This film would be made in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and English. It is being made in English by keeping the international market in the mind. Mani Ratnam is planning to field three major heroes in this film. Two of them are from Bollywood and one is from South. We have to wait for some more time to know who those lucky actors are. This will be the second straight Hindi film by Mani Ratnam after 'Dil Se'. Dil Se was a majot let down commercially, though it was critically acclaimed.
