Mani Ratnam says Dulquer Salmaan’s Solo looks very promising

Mani Ratnam got a glimpse of former assistant Bejoy Nambiar’s Solo starring Dulquer Salmaan. Solo is an anthology of four stories with a mythical touch.

Filmmaker Mani Ratnam is eagerly looking forward to the release of upcoming Malayalam-Tamil bilingual drama Solo, directed by his erstwhile assistant Bejoy Nambiar.

Solo director Bejoy Nambiar has been Mani Ratnam’s assistant in the past.

“Going by the first glimpse of the film, it looks very promising. I’m looking forward to the film,” said Ratnam.

Solo, starring Dulquer Salmaan in the lead, is an anthology of four stories with a mythical touch.

“It’s a collection of four different stories on earth, water, fire and wind. I can’t divulge more about the plot at this moment,” said Nambiar, reiterating the film is a genuine bilingual.

“We have shot every scene twice. Once in Tamil and the second time in Malayalam. It was like shooting two films at the cost and time of making one film,” he added.

Solo, gearing up for September release, also stars Arthi Venkatesh, Dhansikaa, Dino Morea, Neha Sharma and Sruthi Hariharan.

The film is jointly produced by Getaway Films and Abaam Films.
