Actress Aditi Rao Hydari on Monday said working with ace filmmaker Mani Ratnam in forthcoming Tamil romantic drama "Kaatru Veliyidai" was very nourishing.

At the film's audio launch here, Aditi told media: "It's a very special film. My life-long dream to work with Mani Ratnam has come true."

She went on to add that to work with the "Roja" filmmaker was like "taking a booster shot of vitamin".

"It was nourishing," she added.

On a funny note, she also said that Ratnam can't get rid of her and that she would love to collaborate with him again.

Paired with Karthi, she plays a doctor in the film.

Produced by Sri Thenandal Films, the film is slated for release on April 7.
