Glad to hear that thalaivar is back for a periodic flick

thalaivar can associate with kadhir on some music video project... not a movie.

Over the past couple of months, it has been a never-ending news about Manirathnam’s upcoming movie ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ that is based on the novel with the same name authored by veteran writer Kalki. The bilingual movie starring Vijay, Arya and Mahesh Babu in lead roles will be made simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu.

There were lots of speculations that A.R. Rahman might not work with Manirathnam as he is occupied with more Hindi and international projects. Additionally there were some stories published in leading newspapers that Maestro Ilayaraja and Manirathnam will work together for this historical project.

But now it has been confirmed by the closer sources of Manirathnam that it will be A.R. Rahman working on this film. Since ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ is going to be an international project produced at a big cost, the producers have felt that ‘A.R. Rahman’ factor will help for the film’s success to a greater magnitude.

Is this ARR's first historical in thamizh?

Yes I'm expecting an overwhelming dose of carnatic music here. Hope Mani sir doesn't deliver a modern adaptation here, because I was really looking forward to Raavan, thinking I will be treated with rich and lavish sounds from the Sub-continent. Anyhow, I was still happy with the outcome of Raavan but the only song still on my playlist is Thok de killi. Let's see what surprise is in store this time.

Sorry I'd like to correct my self.

Rana is considered a Tamil historical film.

Have no interest. Mani Sir, Please don't spoil your health and waste others time. I respect an immediate retirement.
