As Mani Ratnam ingeminates the life and times of a creator, I continue to be amazed by his philosophy of cinema.
Continue reading part 2 of Mani Ratnam’s One-on-One with Vikatan. Don’t expect any info about Aayitha Ezhuthu. It is all about Mani Ratnam and his World of Cinema.

Vannakam Mani Sir,
I have a question..how come you have not done any movies with Mr Kamal Hassan after the classic movie,Nayagan?
Tamil movie industry deserves genius people,like you both, to work together and produce master pieces.
I honestly think that only you both trying to take Tamil cinema to the next level (though there are quite a few trying to pull it down to a lower level!).
I would like to appreciate and thank you for your work.

Dear Mr.Mani,
Sorry to call u so….in my IT industry it is very common…which always leads to success with high level of spirit without maintaining the gaps with our superiors…
coming back to the question, if you are given a chance to define yourself in one line, how do you define yourself ?
If u ask me the question back, you will find my answer below:
“A man of versatile tastes of life” .
Now, I am 26 years old and I can say that it took 26 years for me to define myself simply.
Being your fan, I would like to know your definition. Being a director with different caliber & with versatile approaches, it will be very easier for you. So, eagerly waiting for your definition. May be, you can write to my hotmail id too. Still more, I would like to share with you but I should allow others also to post their views and comments.See you then.Bye.
Cheers,
Anbu.

Is there any english version of this interview. Sorry, but I am a telugu guy and would luv to read his opinions on whatever questions they are. He is a smart ass. When I am watching his movies (sorry names are in telugu) gharshana, dalapathi, geetanjali or any one for that matter, it really amazes me how on earth could he come up with such scripts in those times. Its also worth mentioning that he always had the BEST team working for him. P.C.SreeRam, Ravi K Chandran, Sibu Cyril, great Ilayaraja, Rehman to name a few. Like some software company CEO has said it “We are the best ‘coz we hire the BEST”. Your team is important when you are making a movie or building a software its all the same philosophy. Anyways I can speak a lot on this, but signing off
