With simply a few days left for director Mani Ratnam’s eagerly awaited magnum opus, ‘Ponniyin Selvan 1’ to hit the screens, the makers of the movie have now launched a video clip that reveals the 2 greatest icons of Indian cinema – Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan – explaining that they’re as keen as everyone else to observe the epic movie.
The video clip begins with classical scenes from two landmark blockbuster movies — ‘Nayagan’, which had Kamal Haasan enjoying the lead, and ‘Thalapathy’, which had Rajinikanth enjoying the lead — being showcased in no explicit order.
Interestingly, each these blockbusters have been directed by Mani Ratnam and had gone on to emerge as cult classics in Tamil cinema.
Towards the top, visuals of Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan collaborating within the audio launch occasion of ‘Ponniyin Selvan 1’, which occurred on the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai over 20 days in the past, have been reproduced.
Rajinikanth says, “Ponniyin Selvan has marvellous characterisations. It has heroism, beauty, fear, disgust, laughter.”
Kamal, for his half, says, “This is a vital movie in Mani Ratnam’s profitable profession.
Rajini is then seen saying, “‘How would Mani have made this film? We are eagerly waiting to watch it!”
The film is slated for a worldwide launch on September 30.
