The way Kelkar’s death was filmed (and later, the death of Velu Nayakan’s son), I knew Mani was making a really good movie. And also the kind of movie that we all dreamt of making. During the Holi sequence, I told Mani that Velu Nayakan should not dance. And Mani agreed. No director at that time would have agreed to this. Earlier in my career, I told Bharathiraja that the psychopathic killer in Sigappu Rojakkal should not be singing and dancing. But he deflected my objections saying that the song (Ninaivo oru paravai) was a dream song, shot from the heroine’s point of view. At least that made sense. But other times, people simply wouldn’t listen to me, and here Mani simply said, “Of course Velu Nayakan doesn’t dance.”
goosebumps stuff......esp the second para, so much like the amarkant varma of Dil se, asking a Don daring questions :lol:......a good insight into Mani's thinking process, which is pretty much linear, clear on what he is doing and how he manages to make movies that are less banal......and great writing by kamal in this articleQuote:
When we were in Bombay, we spoke to Varada Bhai (Varadaraja Mudaliar on whose life the film is based), and Mani had the audacity to ask him, “How do you foresee your death?” He said he would either die peacefully in a hospital (which is what happened) but left to the police, who couldn’t prove anything against him, they would bring him out of court and someone would slap him. This would cause a riot and they would then shoot him. This sparked the climax in Mani’s head.
Ithaiyum post panni veppom, since he is wishing for Kadal :)

brilliant article :bow:...kind of lived the journey...
just now realised the people who have worked in this film after reading this...Kamal Haasan,Maniratnam,Ilaiyaraaja,P.C.Sreeram,Thotta Tharani,Balakumaran etc....once in a life time combination...
thalaivar maniratnam vaalga...vaalga...vaalga...[theeyira smel innum sila vinadigalil ungga mukkuku]
:lol:
Nayagan is Mani's peak in his career.
Kamal went on to reach greater heights :thumbsup:
but.. Maniratnam deserves credit for this movie.. its not completely his movie though.. it is the least "maniratnam-movie" of all his movies..
Super! MeySilirppu, Pullarippu, Goosebumps ellaam. Velu Nayakkare :clap:
