Why Is Shankar Following Maniratnam?

Both these names are two big ones in Indian Cinema. One can create magic with his memorable movies and another is a magician in mesmerizing audiences. But, one of them is following the other one from long time.

Star director Shankar is showing massive interest in picking girls sculpted by Maniratnam. This is happening from a long time since 'Gentleman' and others. When Maniratnam showed the other side of ravishing Madhubala in 'Roja', Shankar roped her for 'Gentleman'. Mani introduced Aish in 'Iddaru' and Shankar picked her for 'Jeans'. Manisha Koirala rocked both as a sensuous heroine and talented performer in 'Bombay' before getting a chance in 'Bharateeyudu'.

Recently, Shankar booked sizzling beauty Samantha for his movie with Vikram. This siren is presently working for Maniratnam's 'Kadal' day and night. Observers are saying that acting in Mani sir's movie is like getting ten degrees from top acting schools at same time. Is it this reason Shankar has seen in Mani's beauties? May be true!
