Chennai,

Adapted from Kalki’s novel, ‘Ponniyin Selvan’, directed by Mani Ratnam, hit theaters worldwide on September 30. This film, which has been prepared at a huge cost, stars Karthi, Vikram, Jayam Ravi, Aishwarya Rai, Trisha and many others.

The movie has been getting a good response from the people since the first day of its release. Ponni’s movie Selvan has received good collections not only in Tamil Nadu but also in states including Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and abroad.

Meanwhile, director Vethimaran’s recent comment about Rajarajacholan has come under criticism. He said that it is important to politicize cinema and said that they are constantly taking symbols from us like dressing Tiruvalluvar in saffron and making Rajaraja Chola a Hindu king.

In this situation, actor Kamal Haasan watched the special screening of Ponni’s Selvan in Chennai today along with actor Karthi and actor Vikram and later met and talked to the media.

Then the reporters questioned him about the comment made by Vetrimaran. Kamal Haasan replied, “During Rajaraja Chola’s time there was no name Hinduism. There were religions like Saivism, Vaishnavism, Jainism. Hindu is the name given by the British.

Religions were different here. They were brought by Adi Shankara in the 8th century as Shanmadha Sthapanam. All these are in history. This movie is a historical fiction. Here we should not fabricate history, twist it and impose language politics. Let’s celebrate good artists.”

He said this.
