Sync sound allows filmmakers to record sound during the filming of the movie and is mostly done live on locations.
"Impressed with the sound output in
Ok Kanmani, Ratnam sir has decided to shoot his next film also in sync sound. Since the film will be shot in sync sound, Mr Ratnam is very particular that his actors are fluent in Tamil," a source from the film's unit told IANS.
"One of the reasons why he chose Keerthy Suresh is because she's very fluent in Tamil. He's on the lookout for the second heroine," the source added.
Actors Karthi and Dulquer Salmaan, who also feature in the film, will be pitted against each other.
Regular shooting will start from December.
Cinematographer Ravi Varman will shoot for this untitled film, while AR Rahman will score the music.
