K. E. Gnanavel Raja Interview With Baradwaj Rangan | Kanguva | Thangalaan | Part 2 | Conversations

Producer of Magnum Opus #kanguva and #thangalaan, K. E. Gnanavel Raja in conversation with Baradwaj Rangan talks about the future of medium & small budget films, about how he packages a film, why Attakathi is a thesis in production for him and why actors should collaborate more often. He also touches upon why Atlee should be honoured, and the pressure of being a producer. And last not the least will Kanguva release along with Vettaiyan?

53:35 Thank you sir for addressing Telugu and Tamil Audience mindset. It's been long time we Telugu people appreciating supporting and loving Tamil heroes while on other side Tamil audience never ever shown that kind of love to our Telugu Heroes till now.

[@_K73595]

It's just bcuz tamilians have better movies and better actors. Tamilans did apprieacted bahubali bcuz that film was better than tamil movies. Telugu guys and malayalam guys are grown up watching tamil films but tamilans just watch their films. Now only tamilans have started watching malayalam movies.

[@madhavkumargarladinne5185]

@@_K73595 it's not about only the movies dude it's about the nature of the people... Telugu people always welcome and receive any other language actors if they love and Tamil people can't do that in their lifetime. Also stop saying about only Bahubali dude... We have been supporting Tamil movies and Tamil actors since 1990s like Rajini kamal to till now like Siva Karthikeyan and you guys just encouraged one to three movies of Telugu that too recently and also you people don't care about our Telugu actors reception, such a frogs in the well kind of mentality. You people should come over that dude then only your industry can survive with movie market... That's what Gnanavel Raja said.

Many crying in the comment section "Suriya is already Pan India"😂 Yes his movies has done extremely well on OTT and his name is certainly well know all around India due to many Hindi dub and television releases But until he comes converts this audience into theatre going ones to watch his films then he can't be called Pan India, if we go by your logic then the likes of Fahad Fazil, Vijay, Vikram (aparichit has such a cult following )etc. So let Suriya prove it with Kanguva then we can proudly call him Pan Indian Superstar ❤

Pan india does not necessarily provide more business actually. With Singapore malaysia market, u can collect more without being a pan Indian star.

@@-_.0O You're the one hell bent on proving your point over facts, for decades Kamal Hassan, Rajni, Nagarjuna etc have been familiar with audience across different industries even the likes of Dhanush, Madhavan too are familiar faces to North but Why they were not called Pan India Star is only due to box office and getting enough reach across all regions and languages.Even now Srk has 2 1000cr films , Aamir with his 2000cr Dangal, and now even Ranbir has a mammoth 900+cr with Animal but why are they not called Pan India Star 🙄 simply coz their movies beyond North belt literally earns peanuts especially in the South with their dub. Bollywood is still bigger at overseas than entire south combined and the very reason why they can do business beyond 1000cr with one language alone.

At 53.. you rightly mentioned the difference between Blue sattai and Prashanth while giving reviews .. blue sattai always criticises even blockbuster movies like Animal and Kalki especially if they are made by other language directors or heroes … Towards the end you also rightly mentioned how Telugu people own up all the Tamil heroes as their own whereas Tamil people look down upon their language and heroes…. It should change. I hope everyone in TN watch this interview and try to change their outlook and appreciate other good films … Not only Gnanavel - every Tamil hero , director and producer associated with Telugu industry and people will always appreciate their culture and genuine love they give to people from other states which sadly is the opposite in TN . They insult Telugu people by calling them Goltis ( whatever that means) . Infact 30 % of revenue for Tamil movies comes from Telugu states alone . Whereas TN gives peanut business to their films . Even then Telugu people continue to patronise Tamil films from over 5 decades … It’s time to realise and be thankful to them… and spread love - not hatred . Thanks to Gnanavel for talking ‘ gnanam’ in this interview.
