Mahesh Babu is 'Aditya Karikalan'

‘Ponniyin Selvan’ is the only topic discussed every where in mahesh babu Fans circles these days in our state. Reason is obviously Maniratnam’s next film with mahesh babu is based on this pure historical Tamil novel dealing with Chola kingdom. As per latest report, story will revolve mainly around Vandiyathevan, a charming adventure loving young man and Aditya Karikalan, Arulmozhi; both of them being Princes of Chola dynasty. The conspiracy of Pandyas to conquer Chola kingdom is secretly known by Vandiyathevan who sets on a journey to pass the message to Aditya Karikalan in Kanchi and Arulmozhi in Sri Lanka. On the other side love story and bravery of Aditya Karikalan will be dealt in separate. Obviously Vandiyathevan will be the main hero while heroic brothers Aditya Karikalan and Arulmozhi are side heroes. Maniratnam already offered the main role to Vijay and it is Aditya Karikala for mahesh babu.  One doesn’t know why mahesh babu rejected bumper offer like ‘3 Idiots’ remake with Shankar on the just reason of missing Telugu star cast and now how did he accept this second fiddle role from Mani which is filled with A to Z Tamil flavor.
