Manju's comeback receives an early setback?

It was the most eagerly awaited announcement during recent times. Actor Manju Warrier, who stayed away from films for more than a decade after her marriage with Dileep, made her decision to return to the big screen recently. There have been rumours doing the rounds that everything is not well between the couple. 

Manju came back on the dance stage first and then she did the ad campaign for Kalyan Silks, with none other than Amitabh Bachchan. But the ad was hated by almost everyone. 

Meanwhile Manju has announced two films. The first one, directed by Ranjith, will have Mohanlal as her hero. The next, How Old Are You is being directed by Rosshan Andrrews with Kunchacko Boban as the male lead. 

The news that Kalyan is planning to launch a new ad with Aishwarya Rai has added to the disappointment. Let's see what happens next.
