This has become a trendsetter and has happened yet
again. This time during the launch of Venkat Prabhu’s
Saroja held yesterday.
Director Shankar, while speaking at the function,
said that when he first watched Venkat Prabhu’s
Chennai-600028 he felt envious of the fact that
he couldn’t produce that movie. In fact, he
went on to say that he felt so every time he sees
good cinema and wants to be associated with it in
every possible way. Shankar added that it is the
reason behind floating his own production house.
Madhavan, who spoke at the event, recalled that
when he first saw the promos he opined to Venkat
that it wouldn’t do well at the box office
but its success proved how little he knew about
cinema, contrary to what he had earlier believed.
Mani Ratnam, also present at the function, shared
the view that it is very difficult to predict the
commercial success of a movie. When you hear that
from somebody of his caliber you know how true it
is. |
