Ratnam Revvs Up For Ranbir

He's being sought after by the best. Ranbir Kapoor has cause to beam brightly. After three flicks canned with Bachchan Jr., Mani Ratnam has chosen to handpick Ranbir Kapoor for his forthcoming project.

'Raavan', in the post production stages, is being readied for a June 18 release and thereafter Ratnam will rope in RK to enact the role of an NRI who lives in London for his future flick.

Rensil D'Silva, who has penned 'Raavan', will also be crafting the script for the NRI flick. Reportedly, the South director had zeroed in on Kapoor as the apt choice for his venture, soon after he glimpsed his talent in 'Saawariya'.

Says a close source, "Ranbir is presently busy with the promotion of 'Raajneeti' and once it's over the meeting with Mani Sir is likely to take place." Kudos, Kapoor.
