Most of us know Panchu Arunachalam as the writer-producer who introduced maestro Ilaiyaraaja as a composer in films with Annakili. What few are aware of is how he helped redefine commercial Tamil cinema and shaped the then budding careers of Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan and turned them into superstars. And that is what an upcoming documentary on the life of one of the most successful writers in Tamil cinema, is going to reveal to modern-day audiences. Excerpts from an exclusive interview with National Award-winning film historian and producer G Dhananjayan, who has directed the documentary:
What made you choose Panchu Arunachalam as the subject of your documentary?
More than me choosing, it was the other way round. I was working on a documentary on film chronicler Film News Anandan. I was doing background research when the National Award was announced and I had to go to Delhi to receive the award. The first call I got when I came back was from Panchu sir's son Subbu. He had heard about the documentary on Film News Anandan and asked me if I would be willing to do something similar for his dad, who has written 100 films. I told him that I would love to do it if he will get me the dates of Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan and Ilaiyaraaja.
Can you elaborate on how you worked on the documentary?Since Panchu Arunachalam is very ill, he could talk to me at the most for two hours a day — between 5 pm and 7 pm. The documentary process is a very long one. First, you have to understand what questions you have to ask the subject when he is on camera. I started researching on him. I looked at Film News Anandan's compilation and traced all the films that Panchu sir has worked on and then went and verified it with his own list. Then, I crosschecked the facts with the DVDs of the films to see how he was credited in each and every film. Many know Panchu Arunachalam's career from Annakili, but he has worked on 13 films before that. So far, he has 99 films to his credit as a writer. In addition to these, he has written the song lyrics for over 200 films. He has written his hundredth film recently and so, this documentary is also a celebration of that landmark. It has taken 45 days so far and we have interviewed several people who have worked closely with him, including Rajinikanth, Ilaiyaraaja, Bharathiraaja, SP Muthuraman, Sivakumar, Sathyaraj, Prabhu, Radikaa, Khusbhu, Gangai Amaren among others. We will be recording Kamal Haasan. My only regret is not getting MS Viswanathan. They had worked together on songs for 15 years, and he was supposed to speak for this and reveal how they worked together with Kannadasan. But then he fell sick and we couldn't get him eventually. His passing away is the biggest loss to the documentary.
Generally, documentaries that are made here tend to be hagiographies. Will this one deal with the controversial aspects of its subject's life?
Panchu Arunachalam is a great writer, lyric writer and producer, so there was a lot of things that people had to share about him — both the good and the bad. Even though Panchu sir did not wish to speak of certain things because he did not want to hurt people or create a controversy out of this, the others spoke about those things, so this documentary will bring out many unrevealed truths. Though the intention is not to sensationalize things, the documentary will be a very honest attempt. It will talk about a person who could have become a big studio boss but remains an ordinary producer. He has created wonderful hits for stars but he never made money. Where exactly did things go wrong? That way, his life will be a good lesson to the industry. He has openly talked about his failures, and how despite being so knowledgeable about the film business, things went wrong. During the shoot of one particular episode, he completely broke down as he couldn't take the pain of reliving the harrowing experience.
What do you say is the legacy of Panchu Arunachalam apart from being the person who introduced Ilaiyaraaja?
He is the one who reinvented commercial Tamil cinema. Till 1977, MGR and Sivaji films were dominating the box office. MGR's was formula films while Sivaji's was family films. Annakili released in 1976 and folk music became a big trend. In 1977, Tamil cinema changed tracks with 16 Vayathinile, and village-based, realistic films started becoming the norm. People were apprehensive about mainstream commercial films doing well, but Panchu Arunachalam wrote Murattu Kalai in 1980 to show that commercial films are needed to reach B and C centres. And he took Kamal Haasan, who was till then considered an A-centre star, to the B and C centres with Sakalakala Vallavan in 1982. It became the first Tamil to do a business of `1 crore. So, he redefined commercial cinema and showed you can get maximum turnover with these films. In a way, you can blame him for making hardcore commercial cinema the centre of Tamil cinema, which would have otherwise taken the realistic films route. But those films would not have helped our films penetrate into the interior areas. At the same time, he did not forget good cinema and wrote films like Aarilirunthu Arubathu Varai and Engeyo Ketta Kural.
Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan have acted in many films written by Panchu Arunachalam. What role did he play in their careers?
He did 23 films with Rajinikanth and 13 with Kamal Haasan. He wrote commercial films for Rajini (Kazhugu, Pokkiri Raja, Paayum Puli) and Kamal (Thoongadhey Thambi Thoongadhey, Uyarndha Ullam) one after another. However, despite managing the careers of two superstars, he never played games. That is why both these actors trusted him. If you take Rajinikanth, with Bhuvana Oru Kelvikuri, he turned Rajinikanth, who was until then acting as a villain into a hero, then made him a superhero with Murattu Kaalai, and then brought him back to family audiences with Engaeyo Kaetta Kural. In his career, there are five films that the Superstar himself speaks of as close to his heart — Bhuvana Oru Kelvikuri, Mullum Malarum, Aarilirunthu Arubathu Varai, Engeyo Ketta Kural and Sri Raghavendra. Out of these five, three were written by Panchu Arunachalam. So, in that sense, he is the man who invented Rajinikanth as an actor and showed the world that he can act. Even Rajini sir acknowledges this in the documentary, and says, "Even though Balachander sir is the one who introduced me, Panchu Arunachalam is the person who made me a big artist."

நேரம் படஇயக்குநருக்கு ரஜினியிடமிருந்து அழைப்பு?
மலையாளத்தில் வெளியாகி பெரிய வெற்றியைப் பெற்றப் படம் பிரேமம். தமிழில் நேரம் படத்தை இயக்கிய அல்போன்ஸ்புத்திரன் தான் அந்தப்படத்தையும் இயக்கியிருந்தார். முதல்படமான நேரமும் வெற்றி, அடுத்த படமான பிரேமமும் வெற்றி என்பதால் அவரிடன் பணியாற்றிய பல நடிகர்கள் ஆர்வமாக இருப்பதாகச் சொல்லப்படுகிறது.
எல்லாவற்றிற்கும் மேலாக, அண்மையில் அல்போன்ஸ்புத்திரனைத் தொடர்பு கொண்ட ரஜினி மகள் சௌந்தர்யா, அப்பாவுக்கு ஏற்ப ஒரு கதை தயார் செய்யுங்கள் அவரை வைத்து நீங்கள் இயக்க நான் ஏற்பாடு செய்கிறேன் என்று சொன்னதாகத் தெரிகிறது. சூப்பர்ஸ்டாரிடம் இருந்து அழைப்பு என்றால் எல்லோரும் மகிழ்ச்சியடைவார்கள். ஆனால் இவரோ அதிர்ச்சியடைந்துவிட்டாராம்.
அவரை வைத்துப் படம் இயக்கும் அளவுக்கு நான் இன்னும் தயாராகவில்லை, அவரை மட்டுமல்ல வேறு யாரை வைத்தும் பெரியபட்ஜெட்டில் படம் எடுக்க நான் தயாராகவே இல்லை. சின்னயூனிட்டை வைத்துக்கொண்டு அமைதியாகப் படம் எடுக்கவே நான் விரும்புகிறேன் என்று சொன்னதாகத் தெரிகிறது.
அட்டகத்தி, மெட்ராஸ் ஆகிய படங்களைத் தொடர்ந்து ரஞ்சித் இயக்கும் மூன்றாவது படத்தில் ரஜினி நடிக்கிறார், அல்போன்ஸ்புத்திரன் தயாராக இருந்தால் அவருடைய மூன்றாவதுபடத்திலும் ரஜினி இருந்திருப்பார் என்று திரையுலகில் பேச்சு இருக்கிறது.
look at the success of bhabulai, had "kochdaiyan" been made as a real movie, it would have been better than babhubali, the only thing I am not sure about is .how a frail RK would have handled the stunts ? Other wise it wold have been awesome !
Just because a historical/period movie which has been well made because huge hit does not mean all movies in that genre will do well no matterQuote:

A lowdown on what's going on in the Tamil film industry.
http://im.rediff.com/movies/2015/jul...-snippets1.jpg
The sequel to Shankar's Rajinikanth starrer mega blockbuster Enthiran may soon become a reality.
According to latest reports, Enthiran 2 will be made at a whooping budget of Rs 300 crore with 27 assistant directors and 10 executive producers.
Sources say that the pre-production work is already underway.
It was earlier reported that actor Vikram was offered the role of the antagonist in the film, but there has been no confirmation from the actor as yet.
Enthiran was made at a budget of Rs 130 crore and collected Rs 290 crore at the box office worldwide.
It was the highest grossing Tamil film of all time until Baahubali, which released recently, surpassed it.
Shooting for the film will commence as soon as Rajinikanth wraps up his next film with director Pa Ranjith of Attakathi and Madras fame, which is scheduled to begin this August.
What I read is that it'll take about 3 years for Shankar to complete E-2 ... if true, thats way too long. Also a villain to satisfy NI audience so it may not be Vikram ..

It is not just the story, Param - Shankar, Rajamouli etc are some of the few directors who are enough detail-oriented to bring out a good finished product. KSR may be great at project/people management but sucks at everything else these days....Quote:

Ranjith ropes in Attakathi Dinesh for his Rajini film
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/t...4/1_Dinesh.jpg
From the never- ending rounds of speculations surrounding the cast and crew of Rajinikanth's next film with director Ranjith, comes this bit of confirmed news that Ranjith has roped in Attakathi Dinesh for a pivotal role in the film. We had earlier reported that Radhika Apte will be the female lead in the film. Interestingly, this casting seems to be the continuation of a friendship forged during the days of Ranjith's debut film, Attakathi, which had Dinesh in the lead. The duo had kept up with each other, and have been good friends since then.
A source close to the makers of the film has also confirmed this news, saying, "Dinesh will be a part of the film, but as of now, we haven't officially signed the agreement." Ranjith has apparently penned an interesting character for Dinesh — something of crucial importance to the film.
Deepika Padukone in Rajinikanth's Robot Sequel?
Actress Deepika Padukone is undoubtedly at the top of game with a string of successful films like Piku, Finding Fanny and Happy New Year. And now the actress may add another gigantic hit to her body of work.
Filmmaker Shankar has reportedly approached the Cocktail star for a role opposite Rajinikanth in the sequel of his 2010 film Robot (Enthiran in Tamil).
Deepika has previously worked with Rajinikanth in his daughter Soundarya R Ashwin's debut film (as director) Kochadaiiyaan. However, the film used photo-realistic motion capture technology.
Robot, which featured Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the lead role, was the top-earning Indian film that year beating Shah Rukh Khan's My Name Is Khan and Salman Khan's Dabangg. It's record for the highest grossing South film of all time was broken by SS Rajamouli's Baahubali - The Beginning, this year.
Meanwhile, Deepika, who has reportedly doubled her fee after her current successes, has also become rather picky about the films she signs.
Rumours suggest that Yash Raj Films head Aditya Chopra wanted Deepika in his film Victor starring Hrithik Roshan and which will be directed by Dhoom: 3 famed Vijay Krishna Acharya. However, Deepika turned down the offer since she didn't fancy her role in the film.
Deepika has previously worked with YRF's Bachna Ae Haseeno, also starring Ranbir Kapoor, Minissha Lamba and Bipasha Basu.
Busy Ms Padukone will be next seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Bajirao Mastani along with Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra. Further, she is busy working on Imtiaz Ali's Tamasha co-starring Ranbir.

பாகுபலியை தூக்கி சாப்பிட தூபம்போடும் டைரக்டர்.. தெறித்து ஓடும் தயாரிப்பாளர்கள்
Posted by: Veera Kumar |Sat, Aug 1, 2015, 11:39 [IST]
சென்னை: பாகுபலி திரைப்படத்தின் பிரமாண்டத்தை பார்த்து பயந்து போன நம்மூர் பிரமாண்ட டைரக்டர் உச்ச நட்சத்திரத்துடனான தனது அடுத்த படத்தை வெகு பிரமாண்டமாக எடுக்க முடிவு செய்து பெரிய குழுவோடு களமிறங்கியுள்ளார். ஆனால், இருவரையும் நம்புவதற்கு தயாரிப்பு தரப்புகள் தயாராக இல்லையாம்.
பாகுபலி திரைப்படம் பிரமாண்டமாக எடுக்கப்பட்ட விதத்தால் உலகமெங்கும் பெரும் வரவேற்பை பெற்றுள்ளது. வசூலை வாரி குவித்து வருகிறது. இந்தியாவின் பிரமாண்ட இயக்குநர், ராஜமவுலிதான் என்று அனைத்து ஊடகங்களும் ரத்தின கம்பளம் விரித்துள்ளன.
இது நம்மூரிலுள்ள பிரமாண்ட இயக்குநருக்கு கடும் கடுப்புகளை கிளப்பிவிட்டுள்ளது. ராஜமவுலியை அந்த பிரமாண்டம் வெளிப்படையாக வாழ்த்தி தனது பெரியமனுஷத் தனத்தை காண்பிப்பது போல காண்பித்துக் கொண்டாலும், உள்ளுக்குள் வெந்து கொண்டுள்ளது மனது.
உச்ச நட்சத்திரத்தை வைத்து தனது முந்தைய படத்தின் 2வது பாகம் எடுக்க உள்ள அந்த பிரமாண்டம், 27 உதவி இயக்குநர்களையும், 10 நிர்வாக தயாரிப்பாளர்களையும் வைத்து டிஸ்கஷன் செய்துள்ளார். எப்படியாவது, பாகுபலியை முந்திவிட வேண்டும், தயாரிப்பாளருக்கு எத்தனை மொட்டை போட்டாலும் பரவாயில்லை என்ற ரீதியில் ரொம்ப உக்கிரமாக டிஸ்கஷன் நடந்துள்ளது.
இந்நிலையில்தான், டிஸ்கஷன் விஷயத்தை யாரோ வெளியே லீக் செய்துவிட்டனர். கடுப்பிலுள்ளாராம், பிரமாண்டம். பிரமாண்டம், தயாரிப்பாளரை தெருவில் நிறுத்தி எடுத்த முந்தைய பிரமாண்ட படத்துக்கு போட்ட முதலை எடுப்பதற்குள் தயாரிப்பாளருக்கு நுரை தள்ளிவிட்டது. இதில், பாகுபாலியை முந்துகிறேன் பேர்வழி என்ற பெயரில், 300 கோடி என்று பட்ஜெட்டை போட்டு வைத்திருக்கும் பிரமாண்டத்தை நம்பினால் தெருக்கோடிதான் கதியா என்று பல தயாரிப்பாளர்களும் புழுதி பறக்க ஓடிக் கொண்டுள்ளனர்.
பிரமாண்டம் ஹீரோவாக வைத்து படமெடுக்க உள்ள நடிகருக்கும் இப்போது போதாத காலம். மக்கள் ரசனை மாறிவிட்டதால் அந்த குதிரை மீதும் பந்தையம் கட்ட தயாரிப்பாளர்கள் தயங்குகின்றனர். பிரமாண்டத்தின் சமீபத்திய படங்களும் பல லாஜிக் ஓட்டைகளுடன், புளித்து போன காட்சிகளுடன் பல்லிளிக்கின்றன. இருந்தாலும் ராஜமவுலியா, நானா என்ற கேள்விமட்டும் பிரமாண்டத்தை தூங்கவிடாமல் செய்து வருகிறதாம்.

Vinuchakaravarthy was Hilarious along side SS in Guru Shishyan, (Ippo enna seivenga ippo enna seiveenga :rotfl: ) and he was good in Annamalai too
so radhika apte it is for the pa.ranjith film. fine actress, was good in sujoy ghosh's latest, Ahalya, as well.
interesting combination considering that she has till date been identified with art-house/independent cinema.
Radhika Apte considers film with Rajinikanth 'a rare opportunity'
Deccan Chronicle | August 03, 2015, 12.08 pm IST
Mumbai: Radhika Apte is soaring high with success of her performance in the short film ‘Ahalya’ and now she is ready to add another feather to her cap. The actress has signed the dotted line opposite superstar Rajinikanth in his next Tamil film.
Radhika is the fourth Bollywood actress- after Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Sonakshi Sinha to star opposite Rajinikanth. The actress who considers Rajinikanth an exceptional star considers it to be a rare opportunity and is thrilled that the film fell into place.
Even though Radhika has worked in several films in the past, she isn’t quite familiar with the language. The film will tentatively go on floors by the end of August.
She sure is "Goo looking" , :p never seen any of her movies before ..Quote:

Yes, Vijayendra Prasad would be writing and directing his next film starring Rajnikant.
A source very close to the development says, “Rajni Sir met Vijayendra Sir at a public function. They got down to talking about Baahubali. “This is when Vijayendra sir pitched an idea to Rajini sir, who said an instant yes,” he says. According to the source, the film will have a strong political backdrop.
The details are now being worked out. Confirming this development, the very modest writer says, “Yes, Rajinikant sir is doing a film that I’ll write and direct. After the release of Baahubali, he felicitated me with a ponnadai. I narrated a story that I wanted to direct. He liked it and said he would do it.”
Rajinikant will start his film with Prasad after he finishes the sequel to Robot with director Shankar.

After magadheera he made a movie with Sunil(a comedian) maryada ramanna - Rajamouli

'Padaiyappa' and 'Annamalai' phenomenon in Rajini-Ranjith film http://igmedia.blob.core.windows.net...ommon/none.gif
https://igmedia.blob.core.windows.ne...th_050815m.jpg
As we had reported earlier superstar Rajinikanth will play a role close to his real life age in his next film to be directed by Ranjith. It is being speculated that the film will showcase Rajini as a aged done who still rules the underworld.
Now hear from a source in Kollywood that the character played by Rajini will have an adult daughter in the yet to be titled film and the team is on the search for a star face to play that role.
Radhika Apte will be playing Rajini’s wife in this film while Dinesh, Kalaiyarasan and Prakash Raj are will be joining the team to play important supporting roles.
The Superstar‘s character had adult daughters in his blockbuster films ‘Padaiyappa’ and ‘Annamalai’. But the script of those films showcased the life of the character played by Rajini from its young days, there by offering scope for youthful elements. It is unclear whether Rajini will appear as a aged man in the entire film to be directed by Ranjith or this film will also have portions showing him as a youngster.
The film which will be produced by Kalaipuli S.Thanu is expected to go on floors by the end of this month or early September in Malaysia.
Has Rajini ever had a onscreen son (apart from the cases when son role also played by Rajini)? as far as i can remember, he always had daughter / daughters in onscreenQuote:

Rajini Formula
Couple of years back I had a chance to meet one of my favourite actress during a Film Festival. I was amazed to see her explaining how she was thrown into a scene and how she continued to perform for a whole 5 mins, the longest in her carrier. The very first scene of the film was with her and it was not an easy one. She plays a mother of a 8 years old, and the locataion was at the cemetery, the burial of her fictional child. It was on the sets she came to know about the scene, and she peeped over the execution script and found that their were close-up, trolly and a POV from the tomb shots as though her son was looking at her from everywhere. She walked in and became emotional before the tomb trying her best to provide various facial movements. After a whole 5 minutes, she heard 'cut', and it was a one take. She actually brought out a demise in her own family to enact it through the character.
Another actor, (due to the suject being personel I am not giving the name), suffered a loss and saw his own son stuck to the bottom. Recently, he is been doing only father roles, the character saving their kids or bringing back their son who have lost the path or cope up with their seperated child.
Uta Hagen in her work "Respect for Acting" (thanks Arvind), explains about how the Real Thinking affects the Character's thinking (in the chapter 7). Here are few lines that interested me to explore more the character and understand the artist who is performing it :
Sometimes the diligent actor mistakenly goes so far as to write out his character’s thoughts as if they were indeed dialogue. Real thinking precedes, is accompanied by, and follows action. Real thinking is active.
Thoughts spring from the contact with these inner objects (things or people not present in the room only as images in the mind), and bring about an inner action.
I never ask, “What were you thinking?” Instead, I ask, “What were your inner objects?” so that you will get out of the habit of even verbally analyzing your thought process.
The actor’s thinking depends on the subjective process of weighing the course of action by a contact with inner and outer objects.
So, a single thought can elivate or destruct a character that an artist is playing. At the make-up room he disguises himself as a character. And what we see on screen is not the artist but the character itself. Imagine if the real life and the character life collide and in that process discover that they are one and the same. This helps the artist to acheive the demanded through his fictional character, where his inner objects are real and the outer objects fall into place with the desired reality.
There is a difference between creating a comfort zone & establishing a comfort zone. Rajini establishes a huge circle, enveloppes all the co-artists inside, including the camera & called in shots. At post production, he becomes a wonder at the editing table that through his potrayal of the character scripted for motion picture, the laps & lags gets erradicated automatically. When an artist performs and ends his action at the same time the director calls for the cut, this sync is what makes the scene a cult and the film, a classic. Rajini has mastered this art of curiosity, that he is aware of each and any position in the closed room where the scene is filmed. The role he has taken guides him to that point, where even being silent amoung the crowd, the character is still visible as he continues to put it up.
Rajini is a sort of a gem which has the capacity and capability to shine itself, and readily accepts to be polished by film makers. In my recent ongoing work Chaturmukha, the Deva character, the man with the whip, is inspired from Bhairavi. In the film Bhairavi, its very difficult to perform the character's physical and mental agony at the same time, during the whole second half. The limp that Mookaiyah makes is maintained throughout the 2nd half by Rajini without any deviations, and the climax is a class of its own. Recently, another film hit the screen and it looked like 6 different persons playing the same character. The artist (to avoid clash, I am not mentioning) was not concentrating and his mind was blabbering, that inbetween shots he looked so different. His thought process has runined not only the scenes, but the whole viewing experience too. And the make up was annoyingly wrong.
And to add the class effect, Rajini walks & talks like the character would do, but puts up a uniqueness to it. As there is much to tell about it, but here, I will just point out his eye movements. Its not only about looking, its about using it. While delivering a dialogue, you could note that Rajini shrinks his eyes more often, and the sight motion varies according to the uttered words - anger, sympathy, pity, challenge, etc. To give you an immediate exemple, in Lingaa after the Train Fight sequence, Lingaa is enquiring the hitmen in a compartment where the windows were broken during the stunts. Its in a indoor set with all the necessary visual effects. You could note that, only Rajini would be flattering his eyes as though the breeze from the broken window is hitting his face. Thats called presence of mind of an artist. Several such Rajini moments could be found from several footages, in which what is enacted gets reciprocated from the audience. And walking & talking is not a easy task, only proper theatre artists master this format.
Talking about make-up, with powders or just the attire, it should make the artist comfortable. As mentioned few months back, give Rajini a beard, he will thank you for that. He is so comfortable with it (and his fans like myself) that it certainly projects on screen. Plus the costumes, which makes an artist enter into the character while leaving the make-up room. Rajini gets in, gets the job done & gets out, all credits to the makers who have designed something unique called Rajini Formula.
