Mani Ratnam’s Kadal all set to release on February 1

And the ace director has launched two newcomers who will hope to make the most out of this dream debut

With just a few days left for the release of Mani Ratnam’s Kadal, the makers are working to ensure that the movie gets a big opening. The film, which marks the acting debut of Gautham Karthik, son of yesteryear lover-boy Karthik, and Tulasi, daughter of veteran actress Radha, will release on February 1, and bookings are set to open from January 30.

With the release of Kamal Haasan’s Vishwaroopam being delayed owing to the ban clamped by the Tamil Nadu state government following objections raised by some Muslim outfits, the number of theatres available for screening Kadal is likely to change as well.

Kadal, a much-expected movie from Mani Ratnam, features a line-up of stars, including Arjun, Arvind Swamy, Thambi Ramaiah and others, while AR Rahman’s music has created quite a buzz already.
