Ponniyin Selvan on Kalaignar TV
  • Looks like Ponniyin Selvan will be made into a TV Serial to be
    telecast on Kalaignar TV. Naga (Marma Desam, Rudra Veena & Chidambara
    Ragasiyam) will be directing it.
  • and most likely under the direct supervison of kalaigner himslef if the
    person called me other day to be believed.
  • Sir, Thanks for mail. But, why Bala copied my article published 5 years ago on ports of Orissa?? I am sad. Take care. PPM and KNS.
  • Wow, this sounds exciting. If kalaigar is involved, i am sure PS will see
    the
    light of the day atlast. This is the third attempt to make bring it as
    serial
    if i am not wrong.

    Naga is a damn good director who can really make things interesting. I
    am sure if he is at the helm, it would be great to watch.
  • Shall we try to meet him, anybody has link?

  • Dear sirs
    our group is an unmoderated group where people send all sorts of stuff Its the right of the person sending to ensure the authenticity and copyright issues.
    If you have greivanvers regarding this I suggest you have to take it with Bala himself
    second Bala has since then dissociated him from our group

    Kind Regards

  • The people at forum hub have already started a thread on this magnum
    opus by Naga.

    I do hope that Naga has been blogging for quite some time. Let me
    find the URL for his blog and send it across.
  • Hi

    Naga is a wizard when evoking your emotions.
    fear, love, anger were the emotions he made rise in the audience
    during the marma desam series.

    my only aprehension is that sucha long serial like that of ponniyin
    selvan should come in such a political forum. the worry is about its
    prolonged continuity in today's charged atmosphere both in television
    and politcal fields.

  • Funny we too are going to fight for tv serial from now on.
  • Hi,

    I hope the novel is not murdered in the serial. This happens often when a story is made into a visual idea. Graphics help can be taken now to replicate the ship on fire and VD alone tied to the flag-pole and enjoying the fury of nature when he thinks his final moment has come, but what is important for the serieal maker is to be truthful to Kalki's depiction and not make the serial into a drag as is the case with all these so-called mega serials and tear-jerkers.

Howdy, Stranger!
