People are talking about Ponniyin Selvan and comparing it with Baahubali. Making a movie like Baahubali is different and making a business like Rajamouli is different.
Mani Ratnam made Pan India movies, but could not get the mileage and TRP like Rajamouli Roja was one of the movies which were made by Mani Ratnam and it has made an impact at the International level.
Rjamouli also made good collections with RRR. Now we have to see how Mani will market the two parts of Ponniyin Selvan. If the first part gets good mileage selling the second part is easy.
There will be a comparison with Baahubali and we have to see how far Mani has made the movie with the Historical background. AR Rahman is the music director.
Both Rajinikanth and Kamal Hassan stated that they wanted to work in the movie and they did not get an opportunity. It is a multistarrer with a big budget. Ponniyin Selvan is an Indian film, but it isn’t a Bollywood film. It hails from the Tamil language film industry, based in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Bollywood is essentially a term used for the Hindi language film industry, based in the city of Mumbai.
Fans of RRR, for instance, would know that it was originally a Telugu language film, even though most Western audiences got the dubbed Hindi version on Netflix.
Basically, India has several thriving film industries that exist independently of each other, although certain films — like Ponniyin Selvan — have the ability to cross over into different regions domestically.
