Ilayaraja back in Mani Rathnam’s camp
Feb 16, 2011

Mani Rathnam’s period flick, adapted from the popular novel Ponniyin Selvan, is soon to start rolling. The announcement of this project itself has stirred a lot of interest among the movie buffs particularly regarding the lead cast and the crew.

Music has played a pivotal role in all of Mani Rathnam’s films and there were a lot of speculations on who will score the music for this movie. With AR Rahman busy concentrating in international projects, Mani seems to have decided to revert his attention to his yet another favorite music composer Ilayaraja. It now looks like the maestro will compose the music for his historical extravaganza.

The truth is that the news about Ponniyin Selvan movie has more twists and turns that the actual Ponniyin Selvan of Kalki

I am not believing anything until the film actually goes to the floors.

Sometime back I started a thread in TF section on PS. There were some objections initially as to "do we need a thread simply based on a rumor" etc (as if all threads were discussing only "matter of facts").

In any case, that's still active - initially some of us discussed about the story / who will fit what role etc, nowadays, it's primarily discussing such suspenses

As suspenseful as TN election koottaNi discussions

IMO, IR working with MR is definitely welcome (the track record is simply too good to ignore).

The "lakh-crore" question is whether it will happen? (smaller amounts have become meaningless thanks to auditor general's office)

It is more appropriate if the title sounds as "Mani Ratnam in Ilayaraja's camp" because the former is the one looking for the latter and not the other way.

I would go a bit further. I will not believe it till the film is complete and songs are ready for release (if both, IR and MR dont change their minds that is) and actually release.
