'Ponniiyin Selvan Bhagam Ondru' released and is creating a new record both critically and at the box office. In this case, a ceremony was held at a star hotel in Chennai to thank the press for making the film a success. In this, Lyca Group Chairman Subhaskaran, Mrs. Prema Subhaskaran, Director Mani Ratnam, Actors Seeyan Vikram, Ira. Parthiban, Karthi, Jayam Ravi, Leica's Tamil Nadu CEO GKM Tamilkumaran and others were present.
GKM Tamil Kumaran said, "We expected Ponniyins Selvan film to be a success. But did not expect such a grand success. Leica Group Peru is delighted to celebrate this success. Many stalwarts tried and gave up on Ponnyin Selvan novel. Taking it in hand, we salute our brother Subhaskaran, the chairman of the Lyca Group, who was the main reason for making this film. While the production of this film was going on, he would listen to the information about it with interest every day. Although he has hundreds of ventures and businesses and has produced other films in film production, he has been concentrating only on 'Ponniyin Selvan'. As soon as 'Ponniin Selvan' was ready, Subhaskaran Anna and I watched the film. He spoke with full confidence that 'this film will be a huge hit' and 'this film will reach another level'. Apart from India, we released the film on our own in foreign countries. It was a huge success.
Director Mani Ratnam was the main reason behind the making of this film. Without him such a work would not have been possible. It makes us proud. We thank the journalists and media for making such a great success possible.
On behalf of Lyca Group Chairman Subhaskaran, we would like to thank the two stars, Superstar Rajinikanth and Global Hero Kamal Haasan, who participated in the music launch of the film and raised expectations for the film. On behalf of our company, we would like to express our gratitude to Sun Television Company for contributing to the promotion of the film 'Ponniyin Selvan' as their own work. Thanks also to the actors Chiyan Vikram, Jayam Ravi, Karthi and Parthiban who appeared as historical period heroes in this film.
Actor Jayam Ravi said, "Thank you to the journalists and media for taking the good work to the international level and recording great success. Not only Tamil media.. not only Indian media.. all international media are celebrating Ponnyin's rich work. Today everything is easy after the world has gone digital. What the media says about stars.. reaches us quickly and easily. All over the world this work has been criticized. Greetings. Mani sir is the root cause of all these. He has been providing artistic service in Tamil cinema for more than forty years. Don't know exactly how to celebrate the success of Ponnyin's Selvan. So happy. Congratulations to both Mani sir and Subhaskaran sir on their happy success.
At this point I would like to share something. After delivering such a huge success, director Mani Ratnam is sitting quietly. We should celebrate him. Everyone should talk with him in front of his eyes. He is a treasure in Tamil cinema. He should be celebrated in a grand manner. " said.
Actor Karthi said, "All the events that took place on the first day of the shooting of Ponniyin Selvan are still fresh in my memory. The whole experience from the moment the first scene after putting on the make-up was taken in a temple remains indelible in the mind. What is new is everyone working together as a family. Actors, technicians and staff all worked as a family and it was unforgettable. All these experiences have given me satisfaction.
More than this, the experience of traveling to each place as a team to promote Ponniyins Selvan film was new. This is not a film of Tamil cinema. Film from Tamil Nadu. This is an important post. We have taken this and introduced it all over India. As it is now Pan India season, we introduced this film not only in Tamil but also to the people who speak other Indian languages. Because we have such a compelling narrative work. There was also self-confidence when taking this to others. Correspondingly, there was a review of the film in every magazine. I would like to take this moment to thank all the journalists in Tamil Nadu, India and worldwide. Even the smallest things in the film were described and appreciated. I was happy to read all this. It was really gratifying to know that people's taste has improved through this.
Thanks to Mani sir for the magic of reading Ponni's Selvan novel and watching it as a film in theatres. It is not easy to bring the characters and the story that have been ingrained in the minds of millions of readers for years on the screen. No one can force Mani Ratnam to create this work. But Mani sir, I will carry the extra burden. Thank you so much for willingly agreeing to lift it, for taking responsibility and leading us all together, and for delivering a work for everyone in the world to celebrate. '' said.
Sayyan Vikram said, “I echo what Jayam Ravi and Karthi said. The response to Ponniyins Selvan has left us heartbroken. Press and media have been a great bridge from the beginning of the film. Like no other film, I visited every social media page like Twitter, Facebook for reviews about the film. Everyone posted something new. This surprised and delighted me. I was engrossed in it to the point where my family members were pettingly commanding me to 'come out of Bonnie's Selvan pramip and focus on the next film'.
After reading this novel for many years, they will be drawing in their minds about the characters in different ways. Everyone would have had an imagination for every character like Aditya Karikalan, Vandiyathevan, Kunthavai, Arulmozhivarman.. They all had a face. All those faces have now become our faces. Now when you think of those characters, our faces come to your mind. For this we express our humble gratitude to the creator Mani Ratnam.
As actors, we have appeared in many roles. But what is new is that we have transformed into a face that has long been in the imagination of the readers.. Actors always want to have a close connection with the audience. It is really gratifying to think that we have easily achieved that through this film. The love shown by the fans towards the historical characters has reached us today. A single word of thanks is not enough.
The joy is doubled when people who have not visited the cinema for forty years have visited the theater again for this film. However, they say that you should read all the five parts of Ponni's Selvan novel once again. After watching this movie, everyone is getting interested in reading, which is a great thing. All credit goes to director Mani Ratnam and producer Subhaskaran.” said.
Director Maniratnam said, "I don't know how to say thank you. First thanks to Amarar Kalki. Every reader who has read this novel will have every dream. I wanted to make it into a film. Thanks to everyone who allowed and approved this. Subhaskaran met them and said, 'I want to film Ponniyin Selvan novel'. He said yes in a minute. If he had said no, this work would not have been created. So I thank him at this moment. All the actors and actresses who acted in this film gave their cooperation as a family. This would not have happened without their contribution. Even during the Corona period, it is impossible to forget that he did not increase his body weight, but maintained it regularly and cooperated. I owe thanks to all the technicians and workers who worked on this film. It was only when the shoot was over every day that we came out and saw how many people were working so hard. At times this scared me. When everyone trusts me to work, I think that they should feel the responsibility and act accordingly. I would like to express my gratitude from the bottom of my heart to the journalists and media who have helped in the success of this film.
Lyca Group Chairman Subhaskaran said, “First of all thanks to Mani Ratnam for giving us the opportunity to produce such a monumental work. Mani Ratnam is a legend. When I was young, I had seen 'Dhalapthii' directed by Mani Ratnam and starring Superstar Rajinikanth. Both of them are my inspiration till date. He handled the pre-production and post-production work of this film very well. I would like to thank the technicians including AR Raghuman and the actors and actresses including Chiyan Vikram who worked for this film. On behalf of Lyca Group, I would like to thank everyone who made this film a success.
Meanwhile, in honor of Amarar Kalki, who wrote the novel 'Ponniyin Selvan', Laika Niravana and Madras Talkies have jointly donated one crore rupees to the charity named after him. It is noteworthy that Laika Group President Subhaskaran and Director Mani Ratnam presented it to Mrs. Sitharavi, the Trustee's Executive Trustee, in the presence of Amarar Kalki's son Kalki Rajendran in Chennai.
