Why u are just looking at 5 crores alone? With the amount of publicity made and the star cast the collection is very less even w.r.t chennai. Other than chennai and Malaysia (may be few oversead) no other centres it made any impression. It is a flop elsewhere. Even in chennai i think it is termed as average grosser. Whatever the amount it made in chennai also due to huge publicity and star cast. not because of content.Quote:

That is different. Mainly due to Hindi rights. In Tamil the fact is Mani is on the lower side. And for sure PS cannot be made for Hindi. At most can be taken to Telugu.Quote:

Sun Pictures to fund Mani's Ponniyin Selvan?
The Kollywood grapevine is abuzz that Sun Pictures are going to produce Mani Ratnam's next project in Tamil Kalki's magnum opus Ponniyin Selvan, a period drama!
It is said to be a big budget extravaganza which industry sources say would cost a whopping Rs 200 Crore plus. Jayamohan is said to be penning the dialogues, which would be a full –fledged adaptation of the novel. There are strong rumours that Ilayaraja may team up again with Mani.
Ponniyin Selvan, is a fictionalised account of Chola King RajaRaja 1 and one of the greatest works of Tamil literature, penned by arguably the most celebrated writer, Kalki. The star cast and other details are being worked out on the film which is in pre-production.
Looks like ponniyin selvan is almost confirmed :) Mani and IR? :( dont get me wrong, i have nothing against IR..neraya fond memories with MR-ARR..thats the reason :(
Change is good.. :-)
:shock:
I was more or less mentally prepared for this...
Mahen, no fond memories of MR/IR? I hope this kootani happens again.
That time i was still young Grouch :) MR-IR did not influence me much :oops:
Ajay, i hope this change is not permanent :roll:
Mahen,
No.. Its not permanent.
I dont think this is credible. I dont think a 200 cr project will be undertaken without a huge box office draw. Mani certainly isnt a 200 cr box offfice draw. IR most certainly isn't.
Even Rahman minus Rajini/Kamal might not be able to generate enough hype/viability for a 200 cr project. Wherefrom these rumours originate?
Mani / IR ??
GREAT news !
hope they deliver a mouna raagam type of songs :thumbsup:
mahen ... how old r u ? .. naan valarnthathu thalapathi songs ellam kettu .... neenga sinna payan-o ? :roll:Quote:

200 Cr, IR, Sun Pictures, AR idhellaam vidunga..
What about the cast ? Adha paththi yaaravathu yOsicheengaLaa? Prithviraj, Madhavan, ivangaLa pOttu ponniyin Selvan paNNa mudiyaathu.. Even Surya I doubt. Dhanush, Simbu, Jeeva, Jeyam Ravi, Karthi ivangaLa nenechum paakka mudiyaathu.. Vikram is not markatable for 200 Cr project.
Nadakkaathunnu thOnuthu.. or to be more precise nadakka koodaathu.
Even if MR goes for it - my sincere wish is that AR stays away, because IMO Mani can never pull the great PS off !
Roshan,
I think it is fairly safe to say it wont happen.
Adaptation dhAnE - Mani will set it in Modern Day Saharanpur and make it do-able with maddy, Aicewarya, Apisek, piruthiviraj etc appO enna seivInga appO enna seivInga? :poke:
Phoolmati ka Beta - indhi title epdi irukku?
Yeah.. I think so too .. Marudha NaayagatheyE risk'nu nenekiRavanga - MR Ponniyin Selvan paNRatha eppadi anumathippaanga.Quote:

Roshan, PS is definitely gona happen...Indiaglitz have confirmed this
Roshan,
MaruthanAyagam is a political risk. Too many communal implications in that film and I dont think it would be possible to make a good film on Yusuf Khan without those undertones.
Ponniyin Selvan does not pose any such threats. It is just a page turner. The reason I say it won't happen is that MR is just not in the place to be able to do it. It is a personal opinion rather than one based on any data.
Kamal should be barred from participating in this venture.
மத்தபடி யாராவது ஏதாவது செஞ்சுட்டு போகட்டும்.
Realistically it will be the only chance of me experiencing what has come to be regarded as some sort of cornerstone in Tamil culture. படமா பார்த்தா தான் உண்டு.
படிச்சதில்லைங்கறதால, "குந்தவைக்கு கோவை சரளாவா!" அப்பிடின்னு எல்லாம் நான் அதிர்ச்சி ஆக மாட்டேன்.
நேயர் விருப்பம். ஒரே ஒரு பாட்டு உதித் நாராயண் பாடணும்.

Phoolmati - very common name in North indies among common folk. pooVayi apdinnu translate paNNikkalAm.
Beta = Son.
A more equivalent translation into tamil would be mangamma magan, rather than ponniyin selvan

Mahen,
It has nothing to do with RaavaNan. The time and stress involved in making something of this magnitude is not easy. In an industry that is as disorganized as the thamizh film industry it will just make it worse. The logistics are daunting mostly.
Creatively there isnt much to worry about other than casting maybe, but I am sure that there are troves of excellent actors that can be found if necessary. I trust MR to cast conscientiously (except when it comes to the Bachchans). He can write a taut screenplay and I'm sure someone can do the dialogs justice (not Suhasini). On paper it is doable. Shooting it is a whole different ball game.
oh ok.. :) I thought many are against MR doing this project because of Ravanan..
Dialogues will be handled jayamohan :)
And Dialogue Suhasini :redjump:Quote:

Roshan, ellam directors have hit and misses..You should come out from Ravaanan..Take MMA for example, many said it was crap and they cant believe it was written by Kamal..That doesnt mean Kamal has lost it..we all still look forward to Thalaivan irukiran and hope he comes back with a bang
dont u know that Raasa decided not to work with Pa.Visai?Quote:

Ravanan was just an example to show his weakness with dialogues too.. I am saying based on many other aspects including casting. He cant pull it off.. Oru gut feeling'nu kooda vechukalaam.Quote:
