The difference between our actors and south actors is huge, look at them very polite, ground to earth they don't behave like stars they are like just a very normal a neighbourhood Bhai kind da feeling they are giving....soo heart warming 💚❤️
And these actors are also your actors they are from your country only, there is no Bollywood or kollywood now it's all Indian cinema. They are your actors too 😘 if you are Indian.
Chill, our South actors are just like Bollywood actors. They might give a different image to you guys today but we who know them much closer know their grey shades. No need to hype them against Hindi actors
I'm seeing Trisha in all her PS-1 promotional events and I can't get enough of her. I love all her dresses for the events. She is stunning. Whatever Trisha wears that will become a fashion statement
I could cry. This is what I wanted from Indian cinema for decades! Ever since I discovered BBC period dramas. And for such excellent humble actors to work together and bring such a story to the screen under Mani Ratnam's direction is the best gift ever! 🫣🥹🥰
How mature these actors are❤️ talking purely about story, craft and art..while Bollywood is busy only with buisness it's nice to see some ppl keeping the cinema alive..!
Yeah...that's fabulous 💯...These are tha main things which starcast should talk about not just cracking vulgar jokes, overacting,and wearing those so called Western wears.. Good👌
I like how he accepts and cherishes the simplest normal-people feelings....like how he talks about wanting to be a character with more swag and style... Normal people like us think like that... You don't see many actors accepting this, saying this.... He's comfortable and so genuine in saying his real feelings.... That's what makes him great
@@ReluctantSpirit been watching Vikram for 20 years, I'm still waiting to get bored or over him. Same with Kamal Hassan and Rajnikanth. Inspite their immense talents and super stardom, they have remained humble and soft spoken all these years. Rajni-kamal duo since the 70s and Vikram since the 90s. The same attitude, tone of voice and behaviour during interviews, when addressing the public etc. These 3 actors are just a small example of a sea of other massively talented kollywood (Tamil movie industry) actors who has remained humble and grounded inspite decades of stardom and star power. Of course there are one or two arrogant ones with bad attitude. Best contemporary example is the formerly most successful Tamil industry comedian Vadivelu (the Tamil industry superstar Rajnikanth requested the director of the movie chandramukhi to specifically cast him for that movie..he was in such high demand at one time) but his sheer arrogance and attitude caused his downfall and he was ultimately blacklisted by the producers council from acting.
The stark difference between Bollywood sky reaching attitude and south actors being polite and humble, infact you can see in their body language as well ,
Trisha has been surviving in industry for 20 years as a heroine. This is not a piece of cake. Queen of indian cinema. ❤ Vikram is a Stupendous Actor. Karthi 💓💓💓. Jayam ravi ❤❤❤. Shobitha 💗. Vikram
Hollywood multi starrers interview - Talk about group experiences n embarrass(if close) each other. Bollywood multi starrers interview - Talk about connections, their own struggle, be "diplomatic", backhanded- not so backhanded statements.... Southern multi starrers interview - Fanning each other, complimenting, being extremely polite, apologize of needed and actually allowing co stars to speak and hog the limelight!
@@jayia5359 yes!i believe karthi, ravi mahesh babu and a few others were all school mates! you can see similarities in their conduct. so family and school did do a good job!
Even if our heroes have no problem embarrassing each other in interviews for sake of humour and the bro code,, pretty sure their fan bases would abuse each other actors and would not be ok with their heroes getting roasted..
Here is the Secret why south Indian stars are much loved by their fans and why they are polite to their fans.. First they represent us in any matter of disorder in the states be it flood in chennai , protecting our languages, border issue with other states , river Water issue, farmer issue , and many social causes, non advertisement of intoxicants or pan , they celebrate our folk culture....obviously we feel they are one of us ..secondly they will maintain their public conduct so cordially with their fans so much so that no public smoking or under the influence of alcohol or drugs..thirdly and most importantly their personal life, I mean their closed bonding with their family, wife (hardly there are divorces) , children's....it's quite normal we look up to them how our conduct has to be and the role we should play in our family....best examples we can site here are chiranjeevi, rajanikanth, rajkumar family, mohanlal and the list goes on on..
Apart from other interviews in this vikram sir is staying clam and composed even quite I also need to mention that shobita really amazed with here ideas because being an non-tamilian she understood the novel and character depth....seriously many from tamilnadu didn't accept the choice vanathi as shobita
It's a delight to see each of the cast members get their space to voice their thoughts and share such interesting experiences. Anupama always does a good job drawing them out. And they don't make it all about themselves and run away with it. Here's hoping PS-1 becomes a success. Vikram brought Aditya Karikalan to life and made me want to read the book.
Anupama knows how to handle stars..and even the stars are very comfortable with her….that aura, well done..again the best interview I have seen so far👍
Wow, Sobhita makes sense out of other, she has done excellent performance and I am sure that she gets more recognition than Made in heaven and I can't wait for part two for both !!
The way anupama as a interviewer brings out the point of views of everyone , never misses on anyone and what a fascinating discussion with so much subject....The interviewer is a gem❤️
Jayam Ravi is so handsome and cool.....he is the perfect role for ponniyin selvan....karthi and ravis bond is so awesome....can't wait to c this film 🤩🤩♥️♥️♥️♥️
What an interview! 36 minutes just flew. So much personality in each one of them & at the same time, full of class & respect. Love the way Sobhita speaks, especially at 8:05 & 35:19. Great interview Anupama ma'am!
Oh my my!! What an interview and what an interesting cast. The way shobita added her foot note about Ponniyin Selvan was so well put, one cannot define the crux of the film better than that statement. Super super excited for the film to witness the grandeur of Chola empire... It's gonna be epic and nothing short of a magnum opus. ✨✨✨
@@ramyach434 I know that, but as I’m from north I’m use to watch movie in Hindi dubbed.. and I’m a huge fan of surya, so just to enjoy his performance in SRP, Jai Bhim and Vikram I watched these films in Tamil, and I found little bit similarities in their voices but I was not sure, but now I’m sure about the similarity
Vikram can easily emote complex feelings and emotions with ease because his face is like that. Aditha karikalan and raavanan is both complex characters.
The thing they brought out abt the female characters...This is a testament to our history and how progressive our society was in that time ...IK the novel is fictitious, but it isn't false....These empowered females existed back then, and that is just great!! Especially Kundavai, she was a genius, she helped Ponniyin Selvan so much to rule and everything....we are blessed to have such fantastic history full of such inspiring people
Kundavai and her part in chola dynasty is not fiction, sis. She truly was an Iron Lady during her time. She didn’t wanted to get married to any other kings from different kingdom so that she doesn’t leave chola kingdom. She was backbone of Raja Raja chola’s success.
@@rakeshshanmugam2356 that's what I said....what Kalki wrote in the novel might be called fiction....But Kundavai 's role in Raja Raja's rule was real and can't be understated...she was a brilliant statesman
Actors in tamil or malayalam or anywhere else respect craft and is proficient in not only their job but being informed of what the story is and how to fill in somebody's shoes so to speak. Everyone started as character actors before becoming superstar, in tamil cinema Rajnikanth knows how to reinvent and be part of effective storytelling despite doing the same thing(superstar image) and having the burden of carrying the film on his shoulders. On the other end of spectrum Kamal hassan with his encyclopedia knowledge of cinema. When focus is truly on serving the craft from every actor then naturally respect and bonding follows. In bollywood that's lacking from years ago till now because it's competition and treating films like popularity contest.
This was such a joy to watch. No airs, no pretense, no desperate attempts for attention. Just intelligent, humorous and down to earth perspectives. Love how chilled and easy going they all are with each other. More of this please, especially for PS2.
Somehow I felt Anupama doesn't know much about Vikrams filmography.. he is the biggest star in the group and humble enough to give others the limelight but pls do some research to know the history
Ponniyin Selvan is just a glimpse of Tamil literature(Modern). When people read or watch in a movie in future (my wish) of some gems like Silapathikaram(ancient) to VelPari (Modern) then they know how certain authors are well-versed in blending History into words. I think Ponniyin Selvan success will share some more light to many literary works. Asuran is an adoption of a Novel which becomes great success with non native audiences. And it's best opportunity for Tamil directors to explore this genre of movies
As a student from bengal heard so many about Sangama literature like pattupattu,tolapkkiyam in history classes..u guys will tell it better if these are worthy enough to be made into epic films..
Please guys Ponniyin Selvan characters like Sundara cholan,Ponniyin Selvan,kundavai,Adityakarikalan,Vandiyadevan,Vanathi,Aniruddha brahmarayar,Pazhuvettaiyar,Bodhi vikramakesari are true life characters.They have descriptions of How Cholas created dams, Sculptural Marvel and Ponniyin Selvan's true affection for his people and sticking to justice.Rajaraja Chola is a great King.This book is not completely fictional.Nandini,Poonguzhali are fictional characters.Please do watch the movie and support our nation's history.We have always celebrated Mughals and British in school book.But , it's time to reveal the world about the greater history.
Raising his hand to speak.....jayam Ravis gesture should remind many people about manners. I hope he carries this chivalry. Very happy to see this and we need to learn.
Just watch this video from 26:16 sec when Jeyam Ravi starts and such a fascinating interview and how humble our South Indian stars are and it will make us feel humble , happy & polite, this film shud win for this cast & crews beautiful heart and Hardwork that they keep on proving thru out all the interview and promotions. This CAST should win BIG ❤️🔥🔥👌. Watch it share your thoughts 🙌🏻🙌🏻 I should appreciate Anupama mam for her knowledge, prep and well informed about all the stars , all her questions says it all, beautiful interview man ❤❤❤❤ kudos
VIKRAM is far senior than anybody else here in this interview. But his passion towards doing a Prince role, always explaining about Karthi's role, Ravi's role about their character's weightage.......THE SAME HE DESERVES To be told by KARTHI And RAVI or TRISHA or SHOBITHA anyone else. Bcoz he's VIKRAM and does the Role ADITHA KARIKALAN. He himself can't explain it bcoz it becomes exaggerating. Don't be so so humble ACTORS Please be like VIKRAM It's a story fictional Only you must make audience know about the weightage of characters Also VIKRAM he's senior and his role has more weightage Please discuss about the real roles of Ponniyin selvan.
You definitely seem to have missed the part of interview where Karthi was heaping praises on Vikram as Karikalan. Stop trying to pit one against the other
@@rahultiwari-dx8qo I guess you dont know about the film' I '. Plus many are are the watching this film because of him. No one really cares about the others ecxept for aishwarya.
@@jamesmaccalman7692 I just made the statement only, that this movie is not 100% History. Of course, if they want to know more about the Chozhas, they can do their own research. It's just the movie itself won't tell the entire history, it's just a glimpse only. That's all
A great example of a good movie interview - talked about movies throughout, the outcome being that the audience came out of the video learning a thing or two - specifically about the movie and generally about the craft. Also inspiring to observe how each of the actors has a strong personality and a view of their own - they all have a sense of the story and their contribution to the movie. They aren't just repeating some statements generated by PR experts. Thank You to Anupama ma'am for the wonderful questions and moderation, and to the leads for sharing their honest thoughts and experiences. Splendid!
Someone else of Vikram’s age and stardom wouldn’t shut up. I’m imagining all his peers, from other South Indian Cinema, and it’s hard to imagine any of them sitting patiently without interrupting, for this long. ❤
7.58 Trisha Smile and grace just Wow! Generally Mahesh babu is considered ageing backwards, but in female category Trisha seems to be on top of totem pole.
Yet another proud moment for Indian Cinema is going to unfold soon and many thanks to makers of this movie on one of the important & largest warrier dynasty from South India - The Cholas 🤘🏽 I'll definitely watch it in theatre may be more than once to relish every single frame of this masterpiece 👍🏽 We should be proud of our Indian history and encourage more creators to come up with such projects in the future ☝🏽
The bonding, humility, fluency of language and ideas. Wow. I just want to add that there are many veteran and versatile actors Sarathkumar, Jayaram, Parthiban(great director himself) and great technicians Ravi the cinematographer, Thotta Tharani the art director and endless ADs who will make this epic unique and the Anchor could have spent a few minutes on them and their work in this film.
One of the best period movie ever on royal empire ... Too good.... Mughal e azam, padmavat, jodha akbar, bajirao mastaani, Ponniyan selvan, Baahubali, tanhaji .. These are Indian gems
Film Companion.. now that’s a pan India interview. Thank you for bringing up the stars from South as well to this platform. It was engaging and refreshing to see them all talking for ravishingly and freely and much confidence. This was grandeur experience. Thanks a lot Anupama ma’am.
Mind voice of jayam ravi and karthi about eachother “ dora english ella pesudhu” am sure they would have laughed a lot on each other for their english after this interview..
This anchor is one of my favourites. She will not shoot the same repeatative questions to the guests, instead she will blend in with them and converse like a group of friends. Love that!!!❤️👌
She is epitome of bollywood gutter. She wouldn't hv even thought to do this interview 5 years back . Since time of South has come now she is like chalo behti ganga mei hath dhoti hu. 😡
When a book reader reads Only after certain chapters only we tend to know who is ponniyin selvan. Why he was named so. But now everyone can guess it. But then too, book has so many things to make us flow in imagination
Interesting questions that were well answered …. Whatever & how much ever is spoken about Vikram does not equate to the man & actor . He’s just one of the few ‘ Complete actors ‘ that the country has … he’s also an actor with ‘ No haters ‘ .. Apart from being a great actor he’s a greater human being.. Very down to earth, humble, respectful, kind , compassionate, noble , knowledgeable….. It’s sad that of late his films have not been doing well … but he never ever failed as an actor. Wish to see him back with a bang ….
It's time Mani sir shows India what PAN India truly means, he has been doing since 1992 Roja. He is not a South Indian director, he is for every Indian
Watching this after watching the movie. The attention to detail these stars are talking about here is evident in the output. The insights into the making of the movie are lovely in this interview. The humility of these stars shows too!
With regards to Sobita's comment on the distinction between shy and coy, I'm glad they've tweaked that in the movie. I thought they would've as soon as I saw Sobita in the trailer and read up on her character.
Look how polite and grounded the south actors and actresses are, unlike the arrogant North Indian actors and actresses. I felt the same politeness and humbleness with Dulquers promotions of “Chup” last week. North Indian actors need to have more of their Hindi movies boycotted. Only then they will truly learn.
As Vikram said if anyone reads a book after watching the movie we can imagine these faces in those characters..... I think that wud b easy for us to relate n imagine a character
It's so nice the way, they all support and cherish each others, so lovely especially Trisha the way she talks about other characters are too Gud.......... 💜💜💜💜
Trisha rocks always.. she deserve national wide fame when she work in katta meeta...but i don't understand why she focussed on Tamil films more. She is equivalent to Bollywood actresses with her acting and personality..
@Shelly Shell yes but now she getting Pan Indian level fame after 20 years. My concern is that she can balance all types of roles. Why didn't do some hindi movies. I like to se her in hindi movies as most of her telugu movies were dubbed in Hindi.. varsham, nuvostanate,
@@Bheemabrothers because she doesn't need to do hindi movies? Hindi movies don't bring out the same down to earth flavor and cultural attributes that south films do, and trisha shines in her small, simple girl roles so no one really wants her or needs her to do hindi films. we love her in the tamil/telugu industries :)
She is an average actor at best she is no revathi sridevi or radhika or shobana or nitya menon.. she is definitely good looking and could have been a good glamorous heroine in the north.. all the ugly kirti sanon and katrina alia bhatt and others with below par features doesn't stand a chance in front of her
For everyone, Tollywood is not South Cinema. Kollywood is Tamil,Tollywood is Telugu ,Sandalwood is Kannada and Mollywood is Malayalam. Even though we like to call Indian cinema or south cinema in southern states. Don’t use wrong tag.
they all are humble and sensible. way better then telegu stars prabas who can't even talk 😁😆 and mani ratnam is master of all directors of this generation.
True … Prabhas isn’t an effective speaker but don’t put down the rest of them … Looks like you haven’t seen Ram charan & Jr NTR ‘s interviews….Which Telugu star who appeared in Pan india movies wasn’t humble & sensible ?
I think most Telugu stars are good speakers except for Prabhas who I think a bit of an introvert. I'm saying this as Tamilian who have seen their interviews to North media
Chiyaan is the Tom Holland of Kollywood. He literally nearly put out the Climax of the sequel and You just have to look at Karthi when he says about it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Story is well known to most of the people there are multiple youtube channels explain full story so it doesn't matter to people who have already read it....
Yes I have read Ponniyin Selvan noval. It is the best noval I have ever read. Everyone would say the same who ever read this noval. Because that is the secret of it. For English if there is Harry Potter and for Tamil there is PS. We no need to see the noval visually because Mr. Kalki narrated each and every thing so perfectly that helps us to travel into Chozha dynasty. We can feel that we are really leaving in that era. That is the beauty of Mr. Kalki narration. But still we want to see visually. Because That is the feel it gives to everyone who have read this that atleast we would have seen visually because we have not lived in that era.
Slightly concerned about how Shobhita will come across as Vaanathi. Because I've always imagined Vaanathi differently. But she is a really fine actress so she will probably pull it off well. We all know about Shivaji Maharaj, Ashoka The Great, Prithviraj Chauhan, Rana Prathap... Many Indians need to be introduced to Raja Raja Chola, Lachit Borphukhan, Rani Abbakka and so many others. So this is a really really important film. Our children need to know more than Harry Potter and Avengers.

Yes! I know
Yup.. Have read the English translation about 9 years ago ..!!
Have read the book 6 years ago....And right now I am on the audiobook...And this is a cliche Vanthiyadevan is just my favourite ❤️
I know about the novel but never got a chance to read it, and now i m not going to read it coz i will witness a gigantic one in cinema....
I am so happy that finally everyone in India will know about the greatest Chola empire.
The difference between our actors and south actors is huge, look at them very polite, ground to earth they don't behave like stars they are like just a very normal a neighbourhood Bhai kind da feeling they are giving....soo heart warming 💚❤️

Exactly!! So poised
True 👌🏼
He has transformed to Ponniyin selvan outside of the movie too

Haha yes. He is so funny . I'm loving him more
I'm seeing Trisha in all her PS-1 promotional events and I can't get enough of her. I love all her dresses for the events. She is stunning.

@@tajnotpm6281 lol. Pretty without the eloquence
Dresses with such class. Not an iota of tackiness. Lots of people think showing skin is stylish. It is not, actually.
The yellow dress in 96 still haunts me :)
SO PRETTY!!!
Sobhita is well put with her words, Very eloquent and thoughtful. She gives a great interpretation in the discussion.
The respect with which all superstars talk about Mani Ratnam sir is so humbling to see 🥺♥️
Also the way they talk about each other ❤️❤️

I only wish people see these aspects in the movie and stop talking crap about the vfx and over the top sequences which wouldn’t exist
An actor of his calibre and experience, not overpowering or interfering others. That's Vikram ❤️
Just look at their bonding with each other when they speak itself we can understand that and this is what bollywood is lacking that bond....
Actors in tamil or malayalam or anywhere else respect craft and is proficient in not only their job but being informed of what the story is and how to fill in somebody's shoes so to speak. Everyone started as character actors before becoming superstar, in tamil cinema Rajnikanth knows how to reinvent and be part of effective storytelling despite doing the same thing(superstar image) and having the burden of carrying the film on his shoulders. On the other end of spectrum Kamal hassan with his encyclopedia knowledge of cinema. When focus is truly on serving the craft from every actor then naturally respect and bonding follows. In bollywood that's lacking from years ago till now because it's competition and treating films like popularity contest.
This was such a joy to watch. No airs, no pretense, no desperate attempts for attention. Just intelligent, humorous and down to earth perspectives. Love how chilled and easy going they all are with each other. More of this please, especially for PS2.
Somehow I felt Anupama doesn't know much about Vikrams filmography.. he is the biggest star in the group and humble enough to give others the limelight but pls do some research to know the history
Naah. She started with him, called him Sir. She knows
@@MoreFriesplease and they both are same age 1966 born
Ponniyin Selvan is just a glimpse of Tamil literature(Modern). When people read or watch in a movie in future (my wish) of some gems like Silapathikaram(ancient) to VelPari (Modern) then they know how certain authors are well-versed in blending History into words. I think Ponniyin Selvan success will share some more light to many literary works. Asuran is an adoption of a Novel which becomes great success with non native audiences. And it's best opportunity for Tamil directors to explore this genre of movies
Well said bro. I would be more happier if kadal pura is also taken as movie.
As a student from bengal heard so many about Sangama literature like pattupattu,tolapkkiyam in history classes..u guys will tell it better if these are worthy enough to be made into epic films..
Will definitely read hope the book is in English Translation
Please guys Ponniyin Selvan characters like Sundara cholan,Ponniyin Selvan,kundavai,Adityakarikalan,Vandiyadevan,Vanathi,Aniruddha brahmarayar,Pazhuvettaiyar,Bodhi vikramakesari are true life characters.They have descriptions of How Cholas created dams, Sculptural Marvel and Ponniyin Selvan's true affection for his people and sticking to justice.Rajaraja Chola is a great King.This book is not completely fictional.Nandini,Poonguzhali are fictional characters.Please do watch the movie and support our nation's history.We have always celebrated Mughals and British in school book.But , it's time to reveal the world about the greater history.
absolutely!
Raising his hand to speak.....jayam Ravis gesture should remind many people about manners. I hope he carries this chivalry. Very happy to see this and we need to learn.
Just watch this video from 26:16 sec when Jeyam Ravi starts and such a fascinating interview and how humble our South Indian stars are and it will make us feel humble , happy & polite, this film shud win for this cast & crews beautiful heart and Hardwork that they keep on proving thru out all the interview and promotions.
This CAST should win BIG ❤️🔥🔥👌. Watch it share your thoughts 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I should appreciate Anupama mam for her knowledge, prep and well informed about all the stars , all her questions says it all, beautiful interview man ❤❤❤❤ kudos
VIKRAM is far senior than anybody else here in this interview.
But his passion towards doing a Prince role, always explaining about Karthi's role, Ravi's role about their character's weightage.......THE SAME HE DESERVES To be told by KARTHI And RAVI or TRISHA or SHOBITHA anyone else.
Bcoz he's VIKRAM and does the Role ADITHA KARIKALAN.
He himself can't explain it bcoz it becomes exaggerating.
Don't be so so humble ACTORS
Please be like VIKRAM
It's a story fictional
Only you must make audience know about the weightage of characters
Also VIKRAM he's senior and his role has more weightage
Please discuss about the real roles of Ponniyin selvan.
it's not a fictional story.. it has real history and little fictional
You definitely seem to have missed the part of interview where Karthi was heaping praises on Vikram as Karikalan. Stop trying to pit one against the other
Sorry I took it wrong 👍👍
Vikram just has 16-18 mins of role in the film it would have looked ridiculous had he hogged this interview plus his last hit was 14 years ago
@@rahultiwari-dx8qo I guess you dont know about the film' I '. Plus many are are the watching this film because of him. No one really cares about the others ecxept for aishwarya.
Already booked for Sunday.. need to experience the History in IMAX !! 🇮🇳♥️
The Movie is based on the Novel, which is 50% history and 50% fiction. So don't mix them together, just enjoy the movie.
Enjoy bro
@@nirmalkumar59 Why you want to instill your thoughts on Others.
They can read about Cholas and their history if required.
@@jamesmaccalman7692 I just made the statement only, that this movie is not 100% History. Of course, if they want to know more about the Chozhas, they can do their own research. It's just the movie itself won't tell the entire history, it's just a glimpse only. That's all
Could you tell which IMAX, like which place? I haven't come across any such openings in IMAX screens yet (both blore & chennai)
A great example of a good movie interview - talked about movies throughout, the outcome being that the audience came out of the video learning a thing or two - specifically about the movie and generally about the craft. Also inspiring to observe how each of the actors has a strong personality and a view of their own - they all have a sense of the story and their contribution to the movie. They aren't just repeating some statements generated by PR experts. Thank You to Anupama ma'am for the wonderful questions and moderation, and to the leads for sharing their honest thoughts and experiences. Splendid!
Someone else of Vikram’s age and stardom wouldn’t shut up. I’m imagining all his peers, from other South Indian Cinema, and it’s hard to imagine any of them sitting patiently without interrupting, for this long. ❤
7.58 Trisha Smile and grace just Wow! Generally Mahesh babu is considered ageing backwards, but in female category Trisha seems to be on top of totem pole.
Yet another proud moment for Indian Cinema is going to unfold soon and many thanks to makers of this movie on one of the important & largest warrier dynasty from South India - The Cholas 🤘🏽
I'll definitely watch it in theatre may be more than once to relish every single frame of this masterpiece 👍🏽
We should be proud of our Indian history and encourage more creators to come up with such projects in the future ☝🏽
The bonding, humility, fluency of language and ideas. Wow. I just want to add that there are many veteran and versatile actors Sarathkumar, Jayaram, Parthiban(great director himself) and great technicians Ravi the cinematographer, Thotta Tharani the art director and endless ADs who will make this epic unique and the Anchor could have spent a few minutes on them and their work in this film.
Who is pandian🤔
@@shanmugapriyaa6311 Thanks. corrected to Parthiban
Prabhu, Rahman also..
One of the best period movie ever on royal empire ... Too good.... Mughal e azam, padmavat, jodha akbar, bajirao mastaani, Ponniyan selvan, Baahubali, tanhaji .. These are Indian gems
Film Companion.. now that’s a pan India interview. Thank you for bringing up the stars from South as well to this platform. It was engaging and refreshing to see them all talking for ravishingly and freely and much confidence. This was grandeur experience. Thanks a lot Anupama ma’am.
Mind voice of jayam ravi and karthi about eachother “ dora english ella pesudhu” am sure they would have laughed a lot on each other for their english after this interview..
South actors are humble and not showing off.
Was heartfully smiling...entire interview...thank you..💛💛the affection they have for eachother
Glad you enjoyed it
This anchor is one of my favourites. She will not shoot the same repeatative questions to the guests, instead she will blend in with them and converse like a group of friends. Love that!!!❤️👌
She is epitome of bollywood gutter. She wouldn't hv even thought to do this interview 5 years back . Since time of South has come now she is like chalo behti ganga mei hath dhoti hu. 😡
They are so polite even to each other when answering questions, I love them🥰
Don't worry Vikram sir, you already have enough swag to even outlive you. What a bundle of talent he is. 🙌 Love him ❤
When a book reader reads
Only after certain chapters only we tend to know who is ponniyin selvan.
Why he was named so.
But now everyone can guess it.
But then too, book has so many things to make us flow in imagination
Books are always>>>> but they require an effort that not everyone can put in
They are interested in the interview which most of the bollywood actors lack today.
All of them r so humble and respectful to each other,love all the south Indian actors. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Interesting questions that were well answered ….
Whatever & how much ever is spoken about Vikram does not equate to the man & actor .
He’s just one of the few ‘ Complete actors ‘ that the country has … he’s also an actor with ‘ No haters ‘ ..
Apart from being a great actor he’s a greater human being..
Very down to earth, humble, respectful, kind , compassionate, noble , knowledgeable…..
It’s sad that of late his films have not been doing well … but he never ever failed as an actor.
Wish to see him back with a bang ….
It's time Mani sir shows India what PAN India truly means, he has been doing since 1992 Roja. He is not a South Indian director, he is for every Indian
Watching this after watching the movie. The attention to detail these stars are talking about here is evident in the output. The insights into the making of the movie are lovely in this interview. The humility of these stars shows too!
With regards to Sobita's comment on the distinction between shy and coy, I'm glad they've tweaked that in the movie. I thought they would've as soon as I saw Sobita in the trailer and read up on her character.
Shobita is so well spoken and insightful
Look how polite and grounded the south actors and actresses are, unlike the arrogant North Indian actors and actresses. I felt the same politeness and humbleness with Dulquers promotions of “Chup” last week. North Indian actors need to have more of their Hindi movies boycotted. Only then they will truly learn.
Trisha is so gorgeous ❤️😊
Vikram sir❤️
Karthi anna❤️
Jayan Ravi anna❤️
My favourite actors 🥰🥰🥰🥰
As Vikram said if anyone reads a book after watching the movie we can imagine these faces in those characters..... I think that wud b easy for us to relate n imagine a character
Well articulated speakers all them. Their English is clear classy and perfect.
I luv Vikram he is a Superstar 🚀👍❤️
It's so nice the way, they all support and cherish each others, so lovely especially Trisha the way she talks about other characters are too Gud.......... 💜💜💜💜
Trisha rocks always.. she deserve national wide fame when she work in katta meeta...but i don't understand why she focussed on Tamil films more. She is equivalent to Bollywood actresses with her acting and personality..
@Shelly Shell yes but now she getting Pan Indian level fame after 20 years. My concern is that she can balance all types of roles. Why didn't do some hindi movies. I like to se her in hindi movies as most of her telugu movies were dubbed in Hindi.. varsham, nuvostanate,
@@Bheemabrothers because she doesn't need to do hindi movies? Hindi movies don't bring out the same down to earth flavor and cultural attributes that south films do, and trisha shines in her small, simple girl roles so no one really wants her or needs her to do hindi films. we love her in the tamil/telugu industries :)
She is an average actor at best she is no revathi sridevi or radhika or shobana or nitya menon.. she is definitely good looking and could have been a good glamorous heroine in the north.. all the ugly kirti sanon and katrina alia bhatt and others with below par features doesn't stand a chance in front of her
Have you even seen Khatta meeta? She was pathethic in it omg!
@@raveenkumar8275 she was just awesome sajde song is enough... as collector she done great Job..
Trisha just seems like leader in and out of the movie. Thalaivi
"hunted, fought for, bled for love". GOD I LOVE SHOBITA SO MUCH.
Vikram he is so down to earth though he is the best actor
Trisha is ravishing…
Karthik has transformed into a more handsome man over the years
For everyone, Tollywood is not South Cinema. Kollywood is Tamil,Tollywood is Telugu ,Sandalwood is Kannada and Mollywood is Malayalam. Even though we like to call Indian cinema or south cinema in southern states. Don’t use wrong tag.
Now they're saying telugu cinema earlier everything was Tamil only
Pls call Tamil Cinema that is our identity Don't call kollywood, any wood copying name from hollywood 😑
Same South means Not only Tamil, chennai, idli, dosa
Ufff sobhita looks gorg n speaks beautifully
Trisha looks absolutely ravishing and beautiful😍😍😍😍😍. Beautiful outfit
they all are humble and sensible. way better then telegu stars prabas who can't even talk 😁😆
and mani ratnam is master of all directors of this generation.
True … Prabhas isn’t an effective speaker but don’t put down the rest of them … Looks like you haven’t seen Ram charan & Jr NTR ‘s interviews….Which Telugu star who appeared in Pan india movies wasn’t humble & sensible ?
@@mahesh-ur3td among them I like allu arjun. humble and good communication skill
I think most Telugu stars are good speakers except for Prabhas who I think a bit of an introvert. I'm saying this as Tamilian who have seen their interviews to North media
Because prabhas introvert even he didnt speak much in telugu interviews also
...parbhas will just say "jayhind" if doesn't want to answer any questions, he's amazing 😂🤣🤦
If it's from Maniratnam sir ... it's gonna be fire !!!🔥😭
What an Interview ♥️ Waiting so badly to watch it on sunday with whole Family ♥️♥️♥️
Chiyaan is the Tom Holland of Kollywood. He literally nearly put out the Climax of the sequel and You just have to look at Karthi when he says about it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What's the time stamp of that?
34:00 - 35:00
Story is well known to most of the people there are multiple youtube channels explain full story so it doesn't matter to people who have already read it....
Anupuma is perfect example of KT session. Excellent job..yes let's celebrate this Indian epic.
Sobhita is extremely well-spoken
Yes I have read Ponniyin Selvan noval. It is the best noval I have ever read. Everyone would say the same who ever read this noval. Because that is the secret of it. For English if there is Harry Potter and for Tamil there is PS.
We no need to see the noval visually because Mr. Kalki narrated each and every thing so perfectly that helps us to travel into Chozha dynasty. We can feel that we are really leaving in that era. That is the beauty of Mr. Kalki narration. But still we want to see visually. Because That is the feel it gives to everyone who have read this that atleast we would have seen visually because we have not lived in that era.
Anupama Chopra..tat was areally a grt work...she almost got to knw evrythng Abt these stars frm thyr interviews given south side ♥️
Love sobhita. Can't wait for made in heaven season 2! ❤️
Having multi cast in Bollywood would be a fight in filming set and outdoor. Atleast South are humble and ready to participate and contribute politely.
Slightly concerned about how Shobhita will come across as Vaanathi. Because I've always imagined Vaanathi differently. But she is a really fine actress so she will probably pull it off well.
We all know about Shivaji Maharaj, Ashoka The Great, Prithviraj Chauhan, Rana Prathap... Many Indians need to be introduced to Raja Raja Chola, Lachit Borphukhan, Rani Abbakka and so many others. So this is a really really important film. Our children need to know more than Harry Potter and Avengers.
Jayam ravi address Vikram.. 'Anna'
That's so cute..
hands down best film companion interview EVER.
Trisha sounds so much like Vidya Balan. Close your eyes and just listen to her voice, you wouldn’t notice a difference.
May be coz both are Tamil Brahmin girls whose mother is from same place palakkad. 😊
oh my girl Shobitha ❤️
