It will be a dream for any artist in India to act in the direction of most creative and most talented Maniratnam. We have heard enough buzz on Mahesh Babu being approached by some Tamil producers and director Mani for the project of 'Ponniyan Selvan.' This historic film was actually set to take off mid in last year. Due to last minute budget constraints, all of them stepped back. Mani explained later to Mahesh on how 'Ponniyan Selvan' can be made as a tri-lingual to safeguard the interests of producer.
This made Mani to shift the focus on 'Kadal' released last week in both Telugu and Tamil. Unfortunately, in both the areas movie has got divided reviews to keep 'Ponniyan Selvan' in a question mark. Admirers of Mahesh Babu would not encourage him to act in Mani's direction at this juncture of career because nobody wants to see this winning momentum get disturbed. 'Dookudu, Businessman, Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu' and many more fresh projects coming on...definitely this is the best and golden phase in Mahesh's career so far.
