Nithya in Mani’s next?

Actress Nithya Menen, who is extremely picky about her roles, seems to have hit the jackpot. The Malayalam beauty, it is learnt, is almost finalised to romance Dulquer Salmaan in acclaimed filmmaker Mani Ratnam’s next. While the actress is playing cards close to her chest regarding her participation in the flick, it is being said that until Mani gets the rest of his cast on board, she was asked to remain mum.

This would be the second time she would be romancing Salmaan. She has previously worked with him for metro rom-com ‘Bangalore Days’, which has recently completed 100 days at the Malayalam box-office. Filming of Mani’s project would commence from September 29 in Chennai.
