Maverick
director
Mani
Ratnam,
who
had
signed
Vijay
for
Ponniyin
Selvan,
has
reportedly
decided
to
use
his
allotted
dates
for
his
next
film,
as
his
much-publicized
Ponniyin
Selvan
has
been
dropped.
If
reports
are
to
be
believed,
the
director
has
convinced
the
actor
for
his
next
flick.
Reports
suggest
that
Mani
Ratnam,
who
has
three
scripts
in
hand,
will
direct
an
action-oriented
masala
film.
It
also
adds
that
the
director
feels
that
Vijay,
who
has
seen
a
huge
success
in
commercial
films,
would
fit
the
role
perfectly.
Hence,
he
decided
to
use
the
actor's
dates.
An
unconfirmed
report
also
claims
that
the
filmmaker
is
also
planning
for
a
sequel
of
his
superhit
movie
Alaipayuthey,
which
starred
Madhavan
and
Shalini
in
the
leads.
However,
nothing
has
been
confirmed
yet
and
if
the
director
opts
his
next
with
Vijay,
then
he
might
announce
it
on
the
actor's
birthday
(June
22),
concludes
a
source.
