Rumors we've heard of before are likely to become true. Mani Ratnam's new movie will be made in two languages - Hindi and Tamil. Vikram is supposed to do the male lead in the Tamil version, Abhishek having his role in the Hindi movie. Aishwarya will be starring in both, meanwhile Govinda is probably not involved in the Tamil version.

The interesting fact now is that Tamil star Prithiviraj has been signed for an important villain role in the Tamil version. Nobody can say for sure yet but if we are lucky this is the equivalent to Govinda's role!

Some weeks ago there was already rumor of him making another appearance with a throughout bad character. His only role like this up to date is Shikari where he used to play the evil man Om Shrivastav. He was nominated for Best Villain at Filmfare Awards 2001 and Best Performance in a Negative Role at the Star Screen Awards, but the awards went to Akshay Kumar for Ajnabee and Rajpal Yadav in Jungle.
