Why Ponniyin Selvan not a movie alone:
Hi Friends, this is a short video on Ponniyin Selvan is not just a remake of a novel into a Movie. It is Tamilnadu's ancient history being told on a big canvas. It is a story about the brave history of the Tamilians. Raja raja got the name after his conquests and erection of big Temple for Lord Shiva in Thanjavur. His original name was Arunmozhi Thevan. It was called Brihadeeswaram. He got the inspiration to construct the big temple after looking at the huge Statues of Buddha erected in Sri Lanka. He also became famous after constructing the big temple. The late Kalki wrote Ponniyin Selvan in the 1940's Bahubali, that turned out to be very impressive was an imaginary story, whereas Ponniyin Selvan is a real life Story, where the hero in the Novel was Vanthia Thevan, the brother-in-law of Raja Raja. We would seen RRR which was a magnum opus movie where we felt that story didn't necessitate such a magnum opus. On the other hand, Ponniyin Selvan story itself is a magnum opus and necessitates such a huge star cast and money spending. There is a story behind each character. It is definitely a challenge for Mani Ratnam to bring it out but he is definitely capable of doing a good job. The Movie has been planned as a release on September 30th. It was planned for a mid-summer release but had to be postponed due to post production work. From our channel we plan to produce regular videos until the movie's release. Ponniyin Selvan is a story I like the most and it is also the one liked very much by our Super Star Rajinikanth who mentioned it in his interview to Director Balachander. I have read it many times. Prior to writing the novel, Kalki had traveled within Thanjavur district and had traveled to the places where the story really happened. He was therefore able to bring in the nativity into the Story. I also remember another movie Sivalaperi Pandi that was released in 1993. The Story's write Sowbha traveled extensively inside Tirunelveli district to gather facts about Pandi's life which made the movie more genuine and watchable. At that Napoleon was not a big hero. PS is a real story and there are several twists in the movie. We also need to talk about the producer Lyca for coming forward to produce the movie and spend a huge amount of Money. We may wonder why such pumping of money into the venture, however the Story necessitates it and requires it also. The advantage of the movie is lot of foreign tourists would visit India to go around the places where the Story really happened. We can therefore expect tourist arrivals to pick up if the movie is a success and audience like it. We must therefore be prepared for it. The Story's start itself would be very dramatic and make it interesting right from the start. Mani ratnam's main talent is that he is adept at directing movies that are true stories. A simple example is Nayakan, which was a true story. We wish Mani Ratnam and team all the best and are as eager as anyone to watch the movie.
