Mani Ratnam’s double bill! NEW! [Source: Sify, Feb 2004]
It is official that Mani Ratnam’s Ayutha Ezhuthu in Tamil and Yuva in Hindi will have a simultaneous release on May 21. It is Mani’s first bilingual and his home productions Madras Talkies' biggest gamble.
Venus has already purchased the audio rights of Yuva for Rs 3 Crore. The music of the film is by A.R.Rahman. In these depressed days of audio markets this is an excellent price but Mani is yet to sell the Tamil audio rights. Remember that Mani had got Rs 80 Lakhs for his last film Kannathil Muthamittal from ‘Tips’. However later the Tamil division of 'Tips' closed down as the audio market crashed.
A special photo shoot of Ayutha Ezhuthu publicity and designs was held at Venkat Ram’s studio, Chennai. Distributors have snapped up all areas in Tamilnadu and Kerala as it stars the hot and happening stars like Madhavan, Surya, Siddharth, Meera Jasmine, Trisha Krishnan and Esha Deol. The villain role played by noted director Bharathiraaja is a major highlight of the film.
Ayutha Ezhuthu is a ‘pucca’ commercial entertainer with peppy music by Rahman. The audio launch will take place as soon as Mani finds a buyer!
