Word making rounds is that Mani Ratnam's next film is a remake of a Subhash
Ghai hit.
The story is rumored to be a conflict between a police officer and a criminal,
who kidnaps the police officer's sweetheart and takes her on a rough journey,
as the police officer tries to retrieve her and arrest the criminal.
The main difference in the story is rumored to be the ending. The Subhash Ghai
movie turns out with the lady taming the criminal as he swears her chastity in
an open court, thereby vindicating her. However, the Mani Ratnam version
supposedly twists this such that when the police officer questions his
sweetheart's chastity, she rejects him outright and goes back to the criminal.
When contacted regarding this, no one was willing to talk about Mani Ratnam's
movie. A close source said "no one should say anything about Mani's movies. If
anyone whispers even a clue about the story, an ancient curse, from the time of
the Satiyuga vapourises the person and no trace of the person is ever found
again." Rumor has it that this curse affected an actress who has a role in the
movie when she leaked the ending of the movie. No sooner did she breathe about
the movie that she was involved in a scandal all over the news and was forced
into hiding for a long time.
A spokesperson from Mukhta Arts released the following statement directly from
Subash Ghai - "The Mani the Ratnam is the remaking the one of the my hits. I
encourage such a brave attempt from the one of the best the director's of the
India. If the movie has the music by the A R Rahman, my the blessings will the
be increased by the ten-fold."
The Ghai movie in question most likely seems to be Khal Nayak, but given the
similarity between Ghai's films, this is only hearsay.
In the meantime, people everywhere wait with baited breath for what appears to
be Mani Ratnam's most interesting venture in recent times.

P.S. The curse seems to be true, since once this story was broken,
AintItFakeNews.in and SpoofNews.in were vapourised and all proof of the
existance of the sites were wiped out from this world. Your brave reporter only
survived due to the annonymity that the Internet offers.
