Mani makes many things
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,May 15 2010]
The mere mention of the name Mani Ratnam is enough to kindle curiosity among film buffs. Blame it on the impact created by the director and it was visible when the cast and crew of his forthcoming venture ÂRaavanan came together for a promotional meet in Chennai Friday.
The grand and glitzy promotional event organised at Mutha Venkata Subba Rao Hall at Lady Andal Higher Secondary School in Chetpet took off when singer Karthik performed the mellifluous ÂUsure Pogudhey ', tuned by A R Rahman for ÂRaavananÂ.
Trailers of songs ÂVeera Â, ÂKodu Potta Â, ÂKalvare Â, and ÂUsure Pogudhey  were screened between the live performances by Rahman and Karthik. And Vikram, the protagonist of the movie, appeared with a mud-smeared face and gave a dance performance on stage.
In his address, yesteryear hero Karthik, who is making a comeback with this film, said, ÂRaavanan will be better than both ÂAgni Nakshatram and ÂMouna RaagamÂ, the two movies which gave me such a push in the industry.Â
Prithviraj and Priyamani recalled their experiences while shooting for the film. ÂMani sir led us by example. Working with him was no doubt a rewarding experience. Prabhu said Mani took immense pains and he was at his professional best. ÂBe it rain or shine, he was there to guide us, he said.
