The teaser for Mani Ratnam's next, Kaatru Veliyidai starring Karthi and Aditi Rao Hydari, is out.

The title comes from a poem by Mahakavi Subramanya Bharathi. The lines were previously set to music by G Ramanathan for Kappalotiya Thamizhan, the 1961 Tamil film which had Gemini Ganesan, Sivaji Ganesan, Savitri and Kumari Rukmini in lead roles.

The teaser for the Mani Ratnam film shows Aditi leaning out of a vehicle, mesmerised by the falling snow, as Karthi recites the lines of the poem. AR Rahman is the composer for the film and the single featured in the video is expected to release on February 2.

Mani Ratnam and ARR have always been a deadly combination and Kaatru Veliyidai promises to be nothing less.

Incidentally, Mani Ratnam and ARR have worked together since the composer made his debut with Roja in 1992.

The poster of the film has a clean shaven Karthi on it and his fans are eagerly awaiting the film's release after seeing the teaser.
