Personally I wouldn't feel it is a bad idea. Especially given Raja's record in blockbuster movies. He has done one for Mani in 'Dhalapathy'. And the songs of 'Pazhassi Raja' are incredible. And no one, just simply no one, currently can captured the period like he can.
Having said that, I still feel the news is just gossip. I am not even sure if 'Ponniyin Selvan' will be done. Leave alone Mani-Raja combination!!
