No matter what the reviews were for ‘Kaatru Veliyidai’, Aditi Rao Hydari as Leela Abraham won the hearts of many. The movie directed by Mani Ratnam was yet another unusual form of romance which received mixed reviews. However, Karthi as Officer VC and Leela’s romance remains different like in every movie of the director. If reports are to be true, Aditi Rao Hydari is all set to do her second film with Mani Ratnam.

The film reportedly is another in-depth romantic film. Aditi, who is visibly in awe of her six-time National Award winning director, has said ‘yes’ to this new project. When asked about this latest development, an elated Aditi exclaimed, “I am dying to work with Mani sir again!” The actress was all praise for the director, working with whom has been a childhood dream for her.

“His sets are as beautiful as he is and there is a lot of last-minute improvisation. When I told him I didn’t know the language, he smiled and assured me that this was his problem, not mine. He taught me the lines in Tamil too,” she further added.

He will see a cliff and suddenly decide to film there. He’ll push you, nudge you, until you think you’re going to die, but eventually, you know that he will be there to catch you… Many tell me that doing a Mani Ratnam film is a good career move. For me, it’s been a life-changing move, the fulfillment of a childhood dream,” Aditi concluded.

The actress, who hasn’t been very successful in Bollywood, is currently shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmavati’ alongside Ranveer Singh, Shahid Kapoor and Deepika Padukone.
