Mani
Ratnam,
the
veteran
filmmaker
is
all
set
to
make
his
digital
debut
with
the
upcoming
web
series,
Navarasa.
As
reported
earlier,
some
of
the
biggest
names
of
Indian
cinema
are
coming
together
for
the
prestigious
project.
The
project,
which
will
be
headed
by
Mani
Ratnam,
will
have
9
segments
based
on
the
nine
humanely
expressions.
Now,
the
latest
reports
suggest
that
Navarasa
will
bring
together
some
of
the
finest
talents
including
Suriya,
Vijay
Sethupathi,
GV
Prakash
Kumar,
and
so
on
in
its
cast.
As
reported
earlier,
Suriya
will
essay
the
lead
role
in
the
segment
directed
by
180
fame
director
Jayendra
Panchapakeshan,
while
Vijay
Sethupathi
has
been
roped
in
for
the
segment
directed
by
Mani
Ratnam's
associate
Bejoy
Nambiar.
Sudha
Kongara,
another
former
assistant
of
the
veteran
filmmaker,
is
also
directing
a
segment
in
the
series
with
musician-actor
GV
Prakash
Kumar
in
the
lead
role.
Along
with
these
young
talents,
Mani
Ratnam
and
his
wife,
the
popular
actress-filmmaker
Suhasini
Maniratnam
will
direct
a
segment
each.
The
reports
suggest
that
senior
filmmakers
Gautham
Menon,
KV
Anand,
and
young
director
Karthick
Naren
are
roped
in
to
direct
two
other
segments
of
the
project.
Apart
from
these
celebrated
filmmakers,
popular
actors
Arvind
Swami
and
Siddharth
are
reportedly
all
set
to
make
their
directorial
debut
in
Navarasa.
If
the
reports
are
to
be
true,
both
the
actors
are
all
set
to
play
pivotal
roles
in
the
web
series,
along
with
directing
a
segment
each.
The
rumour
mills
also
suggest
that
Mani
Ratnam
will
team
up
with
his
favourite
musician
AR
Rahman
once
again
for
Navarasa.
However,
it
is
yet
to
be
revealed
whether
AR
Rahman
will
compose
the
music
for
all
9
segments
in
the
web
series.
Navarasa
is
expected
to
have
an
official
launch,
very
soon.
