Controversial Questions And The Team’s Comebacks

Ponniyin
Selvan
1‘s
cast
and
crew
have
been
busy
promoting
their
film,
and
they
have
been
attending
press
meets
and
organizing
events.
Some
interesting
questions
were
asked
during
these
promotions
and
the
team
has
been
giving
interesting
comments
in
response.
Let’s
take
a
look
at
some
of
these
questions
and
the
comebacks.
The
exchanges
have
been
translated
from
Tamil.

Question:
In
the
Tamil
version
of
the
trailer,
Jayaram’s
character
Azhwarkadiyan
says
“Ayyayo,”
and
in
other
versions
of
the
trailer
in
the
same
shot
he
says
“Narayana.”
Why
is
the
Tamil
version
different?

Mani
Ratnam’s
Answer:
Narayana,
Do
I
have
to
answer
these
questions?
Well,
in
the
film
he
says
Narayana
quite
often.
You
won’t
miss
it.
Don’t
worry!

Question:
Although
these
are
distinct
movies,
comparisons
are
bound
to
happen
with
Bahubali
and
PS1.
How
would
you
differentiate
the
two?

Karthi’s
Answer:
Bahubali
had
more
graphics,
and
sets,
when
it
came
to
filming
locations.
PS
1
would
have
more
real
locations
as
Mani
Sir
was
keen
on
finding
actual
palaces
and
forests
for
filming.
That
would
be
a
major
difference.

Question:
Why
was
Vairamuthu
ignored?

Mani
Ratnam’s
Answer:
No
doubt,
Vairamuthu
is
a
great
poet.
But
we
have
to
consider
new
talents
and
bring
them
forward
so
that
we
can
experience
fresh
creations.
Vairamuthu
is
not
the
only
Tamil
poet.

Question:
People
are
talking
about
valuing
our
language,
but
you
had
mentioned
during
promotions,
that
you
found
it
difficult
to
speak
in
pure
Tamil.
Do
you
think
that
the
comment’s
healthy?

Trisha’s
Answer:
I
said
it
was
difficult
to
speak
Senthamizh
(Old
Tamil),
which
I
am
sure
most
actors
would
have
found
difficult,
except
maybe
one
or
two,
like
Parthiban
sir.
I’m
sure
even
you
will
need
some
time
and
effort
to
speak
Senthamizh.
