Mani Ratnam
Mani Ratnam, the director of ‘Nayagan’, who started with ‘Pagalnilavu’ in Tamil cinema and has given many important films like ‘Melanarakam’, ‘Iruvar’ and ‘Roja’, is celebrating his 66th birthday on Thursday.
In this article you will find some interesting information about him from the story of his journey into cinema to ‘Ponniyin Selvan’.
ிர The second child in the Mani Ratnam family born in Madurai. His father Gopala Ratnam was a film distributor. His uncle ‘Venus’ Krishnamurthy is a filmmaker. Many of his family members were from the film industry and he was interested in cinema from the beginning. However, Mani Ratnam shared in an interview that watching movies at an early age was a waste of time and that his parents did not allow him to watch movies.
‘Once you step foot in the cinema, it will not render you. I want such a world. ‘
வில் It is customary to start the pooja before starting a shooting in the cinema. But director Mani Ratnam does not believe in such pujas and good times. ‘Labor alone is always permanent’.
Audiences inevitably anticipate certain things in each director’s films. In that sense, many people would have noticed that Mani Ratnam’s films would not miss the rain and train. As such, he likes girls very much. Probably most of his films feature this verse.
ிர Mani Ratnam often mentions Bharathiraja, K. Balachander and Mahendran as his favorite directors in Tamil cinema. Among them, the film ’16 Vayathinile ‘directed by Bharathiraja,’ Rare Ragas’ directed by Balachander and ‘Uthiripookkal’ and ‘Mullum Malarum’ directed by Mahendran are the most popular.
ிர Mani Ratnam, who has directed over thirty films in Tamil, Kannada, Telugu and Hindi, has directed his favorite film ‘Iruvar’. Despite being a favorite, the film is said to be one of the most difficult to direct.
இள Ilayaraja was the only music composer for Mani Ratnam’s from his first Tamil film ‘Pagal Nilavu’ to ‘Ithayak Kovil’ and ‘Melanarakam’ to ‘Talapathi’. Ilayaraja – Mani Ratnam’s hit alliance After ‘Roja’, AR Rahman – Mani Ratnam became a successful alliance. When Rahman shared about his debut as a music composer in ‘Roja’, he said, ‘Mani Ratnam is an avid fan of films and his debut in the film was completely unexpected. Until then there was a genre of music for Tamil cinema. He was able to break it all in the first film and make new efforts with the freedom he gave me. ”

The two who caused the controversy.
ிர Mani Ratnam-Rahman alliance has completed 17 films, starting with ‘Roja’ and ending with ‘Ponniyin Selvan’. Rahman mentions that the song ‘Veerapandi Kottaiyile’ from ‘Thiruda Thiruda’ and the songs from ‘Kadal’ took a long time to compose.
ிர Directed by Mani Ratnam and starring Kamal Haasan and Saranya Ponvannan, the 1987 film ‘Man’ was listed in the Times Daily ‘All Time 100 Movies’. This story is adapted from the life of Mumbai Dada Varadaraja Mudaliar. The film recently completed 35 years of release.
• The songs in Mani Ratnam’s films are highly anticipated. ‘How do you buy songs from films from composers. Do almost all the songs succeed? ‘ If asked ‘That’s the talent of composers. I have no great knowledge of Psalms. I will listen to the song explaining the context. Listening to the songs that the composer gives you can only tell if you are good as a fan or not. ‘
ிர Mani Ratnam’s dream is to shoot Kalki’s novel ‘Ponniyin Selvan’, despite dealing with many story domains such as love, relationship issues and patriotism. He has fulfilled that dream and is preparing to release the film in two parts. The post-production work of the film on Rahman Music is in full swing. Actors Karthi, Aishwarya Rai, Vikram, ‘Jayam’ Ravi and many others have recently released their character debut posters in the film. The first part of the film is set to release in September this year.
