After nearly a decade ace director Mani Ratnam is likely to go abroad for filming a song sequence for his upcoming flick Kaatru Veliyidai.
Starrring Karthi and Bollywood actress Aditi Rao Hydari in lead roles, the filmmaker is on the lookout for an apt location with snow-clad mountain backdrop.
The movie’s last schedules were held in Ooty, Chennai and Ladakh. Sources say the director is keen on completing the flick by the end of this year.
Karthi, who is the protagonist, will be seen playing an NRI pilot while Aditi will don the role of a doctor.
Kaatru Veliyidai is produced by Madras Talkies. RJ Balaji, Delhi Ganesh, Rukmini Vijayakumar, Shraddha Srinath, Vipin Sharma and K P A C Lalitha will be seen in pivotal roles.
Music is by A R Rahman and Vairamuthu has penned the lyrics. Camera is by Ravi Varman.
It may be recalled that Mani Ratnam is known to shoot his films predominantly in India. His only two movies that included foreign locations are Kannathil Muthamittal in Sri Lanka and Guru shot in Istanbul.
