Well, this is not in real life but in reel life. Yes, news is that Samantha has been roped in by the maverick Mani Ratnam for his new project. This would mark the debut of Gautam, son of the noted hero Karthik who was once the heartthrob of many girls through his films like 'Abhinandana', 'Seethakoka Chiluka', 'Gharshana', 'Mounahrudayam' etc.
It is heard that Samantha would be the leading lady for Mani's film and earlier there was a buzz that Bollywood star Sonam Kapoor was considered but those plans are dropped. Sources say the film would be hitting the floors in the month of June and further details are awaited.
