Manirathnam selects 15 assistants for his Guru
June 09, 2006
Guru

With ace directors like Shankar and Mani Ratnam, it is a dream for any aspiring filmmaker to assist such stalwarts in the industry. And considering the fact that every second person today wants to make it big in cinema and direct films, it comes as no surprise that the number of assistants each director has is only increasing by the day. After a series of rigorous interviews and tests, Shankar selected 10 assistants for the film Sivaji.

Much like applying to any of the IIMs and IITs in the country, thousands of applications came pouring in, and finally ten were selected. While a few years back, such huge numbers would have been unheard of, today's filmmaking process and pace probably allows room to fit in such numbers.

Mani Ratnam is not to be left far behind, as he has actually chosen 15 assistants for his film Guru! Working with such large numbers can be quite a task, but Mani Ratnam, who is known for his meticulous planning, has chalked out a plan for his 15 sishyas as well. Mani's associate, Azagham Perumal has actually trained them all for a couple of weeks, before they begin work on the sets.
