Pinkvilla
, the actor revealed that he has been pushing
Mani Ratnam
to make a Hindi film once again.
When questioned if Kamal Haasan will outrightly do a Hindi film again like his classics 'Chachi 420' and 'Ek Duuje Ke Liye', the actor replied that that's what he is convincing Mani Ratnam to do with their next project, '
Thug Life
'. The actor added that though they are halfway through the film, he is still trying to convince Mani Ratmam to make it in Hindi as well.
