Mani Ratnam's 'Ok Kanmani' trailer to be unveiled Sunday
The much awaited trailer of ace filmmaker Mani Ratnam's Tamil
romantic-drama "Ok Kanmani", which features Dulquer Salmaan and Nithya
Menen in the lead, will be unveiled online Sunday.
"The trailer
will be launched March 1. The film will hit the screens in April. The
team is currently busy with the post-production work," a source from the
film's unit told IANS.
Said to be a campus love story laced with
comedy, the film will mark Ratnam's grand comeback to the romance genre
after a decade. His last romantic outing was R. Madhavan-starrer
"Alaipayuthey", which was later remade in Hindi as "Saathiya".
Ratnam is planning to release "Ok Kanmani" April 14, which marks 15 years since the release of "Alaipayuthey".
"While
it was decided right at the beginning that the film will release in
April, it was recently that Mani realized if released April 14, it will
be the perfect tribute to one of his biggest hits 'Alaipayuthey'," the
source said.
The film has music by A.R. Rahman and also marks the
reunion of Ratnam with lensman P.C. Sreeram after a decade. It's touted
to be Mani's quickest projects and is said to have been completed in
about two months.
Some crucial portion of the film was shot in
Mumbai, IIM Ahmedabad campus as well as CPET University. Nithya plays an
architect in the film and renowned Indian architect B.V. Doshi plays
her professor.
