name.
Many
stalwarts
of
Tamil
industry
tried
to

several
decades,
but
it
was
only
realized
now.
Mani
Ratnam
wanted
to
depict
the
entire
novel
in
a
single
film

due
to
the
scale
of
the
novel,
the
movie
was
later
decided
to
be
made
in
two
parts.
PS

projects
of

the

500
Crore
for
two
parts
under
Lyca
Productions
banner,
in

with
Mani
Ratnam’s
Madras
Talkies.
The
film
demanded
a
stellar
cast,
huge
production
sets,
elaborate
costumes,
jewelry
and
man
power.
To

them
all
together
for
a
historic
film
as
such
is
a
herculean
task
in
itself.
