I could strongly say Mani Ratnam didn't flick the storyline from Godfather. He explains it in an Interview, "Post the huge success of Mouna Raagam, I was planning to reach the nook and corner of Tamilnadu since the Mohan-starrer was accepted by the people. Indeed I planned a commercial film to make and that was "Agni Natchathiram". When Agni Natchathiram was at its final stages, Kamal Haasan came in and asked to do a story for me through producer Mukta Srinivasan. Though it was a call from Kamal it was a unique one as I expected. He gave me the cassette of Pagla Kahin Ka and asked whether I was interested in remaking the film. Since I was not interested in remakes, I watched it for the sake of Kamal and immediately the next day I informed his producer that I'm not in. Producer Mr. Srinivasan took me to AVM where Kamal sir was shooting. When I met Kamal, I told him immediately without a hesitation that it wasn't my thing. Kamal asked me, "What was your thing then? He also added up, "The cassette was a thing which helped me to start a conversation with you". Later I told him, 'I have two ideas for you, either a Bondish Beverly Hills Cop or the story of Varadaraja Mudaliar'.

He also explains the reason behind making the story of Mudaliar, "During my 1975-76, I did my MBA at Mumbai and during those times the people at Matunga belt believed Mudaliar was God. I used to hear the story of him often from random people that he came from TN as nobody and he has raised up to a demigod status. The story of him fascinated me a lot and that's something I always wanted to make."

Scanning old articles and speaking about how the movie was made will make this article a very long one and hence from this point, I would like to make this column a more informative and Trivia based one!

Please do yourself a favor and watch it.

Social media is not only scarring self esteem, making people question their self worth, causing dissatisfaction in life, increasing depression and suicides at an alarming rate but now has transcend past to more dangerous territory. It is now altering behaviour and changing the perception of how people perceive this world rigidly than ever at the expense of attention that is being sold.

Democracy is being toppling around the world, political divide is higher and more extreme than ever, false news is spreading faster than the speed of light, citizens are on the verge of civil war.

This is bad and I can see it, I just didn't knew social media is responsible for it.

What they carefully built in the first half, recklessly destroyed in the second. People who are not familiar with psychological mystery thriller genre are hailing it as a masterpiece, it's a typical thriller drama. I think the regional crowd seems to be the cause for its high rating than it deserves. The reveal was just unbearably awful.

Raman Raghav 2.0 stands the only worthy response international psychological thriller market.
