Mani Ratnam and AR Rahman on a song

 

Mani Ratnam's Kadal is progressing well and actors are beaming about the scenic beauty of the location, Manapad, the sea village in Thoothukudi. Isai Puyal Rahman is scoring the music for the film and the musician has shared a rare picture, featuring him along with the ace director Mani Ratnam. AR Rahman has updated about the picture, "While brainstorming with Mani Ratnam in the middle of the sea, down in the south of India." In the same manner actor Arvind Swamy who is also part of the cast has updated, "On location for Kadal…the sea looks beautiful." Hope the magic of Roja continues in Kadal too as it marks the coming together of Mani Ratnam, AR Rahman and Arvind Swamy.

The film's shooting started on March 5 and has Gautham, son of Karthik and actress Samantha in the lead. The film also has Lakshmi Manchu, veteran Telugu actor Mohan Babu's daughter, who is making her Tamil debut. Arjun and Thambi Ramiah are also part of the cast.
