Mani Ratnam’s movie ‘Ponniyin Selvan-1’ released a few days ago is getting good response. The film starred Karthi, Vikram, Jayam Ravi, Trisha, Aishwarya Rai, Prakash Raj, Sarathkumar, Parthiban and others.
Released amid great anticipation, the film went on to collect over Rs 450 crore worldwide. The film’s success was celebrated in Chennai. Many film celebrities including director Mani Ratnam, Vikram, Karthi, Jayamravi participated in this.
Director Mani Ratnam said that he does not know how to thank everyone. So I bow down first. First thanks to Amarar Kalki. All the readers who read the novel ‘Bonniyin Selvan’ have every wish and dream. Bringing it to film is greed. I have achieved that greed. Thanks to everyone who approved this.
I told Subhashkaran sir that I will make ‘Ponniin Selvan’. He immediately said OK in two minutes. All the actors in the film acted like a family. Without them it certainly could not have been created. Mainly thanks to the fact that no one gained weight during the corona period and adapted to the given character.
We had a lot of people working in the film like assistant directors and technicians. It is scary to see them. So many people are working with us. Hiring them all seems like a huge responsibility. I don’t know how this will happen.
But all this will be forgotten when going to the next job. All of them are invisible in front of our eyes and work behind the scenes. I think their contribution is huge. I have no words to say. Thanks to everyone. Thus he spoke.
Speaking to actor Vikram, he said, “After many years, people have started coming to theaters to watch movies. This is the change brought about by Ponni’s Selvan movie. Everyone, old people, children, women came and watched the movie.”
