Presently Mani Ratnam is busy with his next film, which has all newcomers in the lead, based on the sensitive issue of plight of Rameshwaram fishermen at the hands of Sri Lankan Navy. Mani is launching Gautham, son of veter an actor Karthik, as the lead actor with Rajiv Menon behind the camera and AR Rahman composing the music.
