All time favorite would actually be TR Rajakumari...Vaijeyanthi can be mean but still has a childish innocent eyes....Those who have seen Manohara will understand TR Rajakumari's impact

I can recite all scenes of Manoharaa and no doubt she is THE BAD WOMAN no doubt about that. But The beauty which Kalki tries to bring out of Nandhini is just not there - This is my opinion.
If you people allow me...I want to think PS to be taken as a movie in hollywood..not because of this thread...I always dremat in that way only...I can see only that way it is possible.
so our PS but foreign characters:
Ponniyin selvan: Christian bale or leonardo di caprio
vandhiyathevan: Tom hanks or Nicholas Cage
Karikalan: bruce willis or matt damon
P. Pazhuvettaraiyar : Jack nicholson or morgon freeman
C.Pazhuvettaraiyar : Daniel craig
Kandhamaaran : Ashton kutcher or bradley cooper
sethan amudan: Tobey Maguire
Madhuranthakar: tom cruise or john travalto
Aazhwarkadiyan : ben kingsley
sundara cholan: sean connery
These are my hollywood entries...If you like or dislike reply back.
Now comes the tricky part... Will there be 2 diff ppl playing Mandhakini's Veerapandiyan and Adhithan's Veerapandiyan or will they be the same person :)
Permit me to sing a different tune. I have read that Kalki and Manian spent lot of time discussing the pictures of all characters and the sketches were finalised after several reruns. Kalki has defined the features of the major characters in detail; so the characters have to fit descriptions given in the novel by Kalki. For e.g. Azhwarkadian was short, plump and stocky - so Jairam will not be the right fit. Nandini's and Kundavai's features are explained vividly by Kalki. According to me, none of the existing popular actors (both sexes) will fit the bill. The casting director has to read Kalki and spread a wide net to catch new faces.Otherwise we will end up with Dharmi-nagesh like associations; Kalki's picturisations will be lost as the script/action/scenes will be altered to suit the image of the super heroes.
