Siva Ananth Interview With Baradwaj Rangan |

[@paulfactory8645]

Mr. Baradwaj Rangan do you understand what you're doing here? You have genuinely revolutionised the concept of cinema interviews. These are not just interviews, they are genuine study material for anyone who wants to learn cinema and be in them. For the next few generations to come, we will have filmmakers who can look back and learn from these interviews and the fact that this is accessible to basically anyone, more and more people will appreciate the art and the work that goes behind cinema. For the longest time, I had been extremely jealous of all the criterion collection extras and DVD commentaries, that come for western cinema. With the past few years, you have contributed to a huge library of video interviews that go hand in hand with understanding our cinema. Thank you for sticking to what you want to do and being you! And yes, this is one of the best breakdowns of a movie as important as Ponniyin Selvan. Thank you.

[@ananthvs5721]

Very rightly said!!! Most of the interviews these days focus on asking people how did u feel working with X, what did they say about Y, and so on. This is a pure cinephile helping other cinephiles. BRs interviews can be collated as film making courses.

[@yogeshrajguru9892]

Hope this will inspire all other big interviewers to follow

[@last_theorem]

So true man, I also appriciate a lot from the side of audience, lot of his interviews are real nerd stuff and people are finding it interesting and tuning to it , great.

[@giritharanpiran7544]

Yes...there must be new branch of production management in film institutes

[@karthikbalasubramania1549]

I think Galatta Plus and BR must consider taking more interviews like this, not just focusing on actors, directors, and musicians. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire interview.

[@prabhavathiananthasubraman8838]

Dear Siva, this is your mom . Feeling proud to watch the wonderful interview. Hats off to you & Bharathwaj. Beautiful questions / lovely answers. Shall I take it as your gift to me for Mother’s Day ? 🎉

[@mrmistur8811]

This is lovely Ma'am

[@chandrakumari5979]

Awesome chat , mam.. You are blessed with a great son.. could understand the amount of working that has been done at the back stage in the making of PS.. ManiRathnam sir is so lucky to have him beside.. The lyrics for the song Alaikadal was extraordinary by Siva Ananth & AR Rahman has added more spice to uplift the song.. A favourite song of mine. If I am not mistaken, Siva plays a role as mama in Chekka sivantha vanum.. am I right ?

[@prabhavathiananthasubraman8838]

Yes, you are correct.👍

[@vigneshkalaiselvan1312]

​@@chandrakumari5979 and also he played as Dulqar's elder brother in Oh kadhal kanmani.

[@chandrakumari5979]

Thanks for the information.. 🙏 sorry I missed it.. next time I see OK Kanmani again , I will notice it.. thank you. 🙏

[@naveensankaran]

The point where Siva Ananth mentions his team as future (film) writers/producers/directors, really hit me deep. Newbies!! They take you SERIOUSLY !! WOW. Deconstructing a mammoth project like Ponniyin Selvan, which is like a cookbook for future filmmakers is something big ! The point where Siva thinks a lot about the 26k INR in a production running for 500 Crore INR. Money is money. Thanks a ton, BR and Galatta Plus !

[@PraveenKumar-kz2ug]

This interview is one of the best entrepreneurial class for an example of an Operations and Logistics. These two guys breezed out use-cases around Demand, Supply, Planning, Distribution and Response. Brilliant Q&A between BR and Siva Ananth. I personally, thoroughly loved it. One sample MASTER CLASS. Nice to see Chezhiyan (Siva Ananth) in full swing after Chekka Chivantha Vaanam. Great going BR.

[@suseelakumaravel104]

Such a fascinating interview. What a wonderful team behind this magnificent movie and I feel so blessed that PS was made into a movie in my life time. I read PS 58 yrs ago and reread it for the second time last year before watching PS1. I simply loved the movie and enjoyed both parts with much appreciation. Now, I will read PS again and keep watching PS again and again. Thanks, Mani Sir and stay blessed always with such an efficient team. BR cannot thank you enough for such great interviews.

[@Tara-qp1cz]

Take a bow to the entire team of PS to have pulled this huge feat off ! Was always wondering how this was made possible and to listen to it in its details is really satisfying.Thanks to BR for this and petition to bring more such actual film making discussions to light ! :)

[@akshaysahayam]

That Call Sheet is such a piece of information for the public out there to just understand the amount of setup that goes into a film shoot day. (A fellow AD from the industry.)

[@Yohaan_8]

Bro,how did you get into industry

[@sunrad]

As always, an amazing interview Siva and Baddy. Great management lessons for any field not just movies

[@itsjosephpius]

wow.. baradwaj's interview with this guy in FC was a really informative one. helped in understanding role of EP in film production. Another one about P.S .. excited !! (thoughts on seeing the notification.havent watched the interview yet.)

[@RadhakrishnanRavi]

Absolutely amazing interview and film students will lap it up Baddy was a bit hurt whej Siva said it was "like" talking to a friend 😂

[@vinodg4077]

Wow! What an interview! Makes me regret not being in the production side of film making. How challenging and interesting!

[@RajeshKumar-kg1jm]

This video must reach max audience irrespective of profession & borders....@management skills....hats off siva anath.....

[@kaarsam]

So educative. This is a management masterclass

[@ahananeelakantan]

This interview...conversation...is a masterclass on production, management and cinema as a whole.... Ufffff! Thank you, BR sir for choosing to have this conversation...

[@bhaskarraman4771]

Great interview. But I must point out that this was not the first movie to be split into two parts. Vishwaroopam was the also similarly broken up, for one. I'm sure there are more examples.

[@mageshwarans898]

Baddy's reaction at the end be like. "Appo naan un friend illaya"😂😅

[@alamelue2988]

People who talked negatively should watch this interview. Great effort by the team. Through this, let me congratulate each one of the team - very good job

[@radhakrishnansundaramani847]

Wonderful interview. Very nice and superb 👌 👏

[@sabharinathb1981]

No words! Thank you both!

[@ivanemenya8391]

who was the Richard Hamming? that was mentioned a couple of times in the interview?

[@jayashreevenkatakrishnan9141]

Wow. Hats off to the efforts of the whole team.

[@hsivaraj]

It's a treat to watch siva speak. Have seen all his (very less in number ) interviews on youtube, even the one with unbearable cinema payyan.

[@mukund.5151]

he has reminded me of Alan from Hangover ever since I saw his interviews during Ccv's release

[@PrasadVasudewan]

🤣🤣🤣

[@chandrakumari5979]

Awesome work by production team.. So systematic & methodical.. Wonderful Siva Ananth sir.. We can see the amount of planning in PS film making.. Shows communication and coordination is so important for success.

[@sambanthamurtyganesan6064]

This is one of the best interviews! Thanks BR for asking amazing questions and Siva for sharing valuable knowledge!! The sharing not necessarily benefits budding artist and technicians, bt it also helped me who is from the IT industry as a project manager! Thanks once again 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@giritharanpiran7544]

Mind blowing...great managerial skill...we need such administrators for the nation..

[@Kishorreey]

Please do some interviews with publicity designers in Kollywood industry. They are the most under appreciated peoples in Film industry.

[@roshinvfc8794]

ivara madhiri cinema kulla work pandravangala interview pannunga,Thanks for this video ❤️🤝

[@amrithaajithkumar824]

Every second is just so worth it for the layman.

[@jineeths2734]

He really suits for hangover allan character ... some some mannerism are almost perfect

[@KiranKumar-f3j]

What was the name of the book? By Richard - something? Did anybody get it?

[@aravindsivakumar8852]

Baddy is a philanthropist because he's giving us free masterclasses

[@prabhakarnaidugidda1223]

Such a fascinating interview!! BTW : Do you intend on doing a Q&A session about PS2 like how you did for PS1?

[@Archanakarthikeyan]

This was a great initiative, I learnt a lot. Thank you very much!

[@songsinnadaswaram6699]

Thank you God #BR

[@preeths05]

Interesting interview!!! It's always interesting to know abt the making of a cinema!! I just wanted to mention here that BR being a experienced guy in his field, why does he always have problem to put his questions CLEAR without searching for words? It takes forever for him to complete a question straight. It sure is frustrating as a viewer. At the end yes, his questions are very relevant and tries to get max info from the guest. Not just for this interview, in all his interviews he has this problem . He definitely have to work on this!

[@padmaiyer3ps]

The questions flow from the answers. Hence the fumbles. This a conversation. That is what makes it real

[@preeths05]

@padmaiyer3ps yes , His questions flows from the answers ,that I can understand and that's what makes his interviews more natural! But he is not new to this work right , why can't he work on that stumbling ?!... I don't know ,I felt this from very long time.. I wish he works on that !

[@padmaiyer3ps]

@@preeths05 It doesnt get easy... ever... I have done this, so I can relate... and when you are thinking as you are talking... it is all the more difficult.

[@preeths05]

@padmaiyer3ps I have seen many other good interviewers work who has this same natural way of having a conversation with the guest. I haven't seen such a problem with them. Thier questions comes with a good flow! I don't want to mention names here though. And BR being an experienced person and a national award winning journalist cannot say such excuses! He definitely have to work on that!

[@padmaiyer3ps]

@@preeths05 He is a journalist... not a professional interviewer. A good interviewer/anchor may not be a good journalist and vice versa. And he has made no excuses. There are interviews of his which are not like this. See the Kamal Interview or the one VS.

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

I had a nice time watching this Interview :)

[@newgen1002]

Good work PS team❤❤

[@durgadarshan7583]

BR vera level interview ps

[@vishvapandian1669]

Hi sir, its pleasure to show us the schedule sheet of PS movie, could you please upload in pdf format, so that it may useful reference for technicians.

[@curiousreader5358]

Surprised by Parthiban Kanavu question..it's just one book... relatively easy to fit it in one movie..But PS is 5 books with lot more characters.

[@SRIRAMSUPERMANIAN]

its always fascinating to listen to someone who is so genuine and meta. Thank you.

[@TheKarnaticTuber]

This was an absolutely amazing and insightful conversation!!! I am a big big fan of anything to do with cinema and I really thank you for doing what you are doing just engaging and educating the audience on this artform!!

[@yogeshrajguru9892]

One suggestion. Kindly put English translation of South Indian languages ,in a running scroll at the bottom. Will help everyone to enjoy the fruits of your labor of love and paticipatively educative

[@barathmcc]

Need more such interviews, please 😊

[@ARRin8D]

Can you please provide subtitles?

[@varshinisubramanian2122]

Wow, This was such a great interview :)

[@yogeshrajguru9892]

At 3.15. Truly wish that all other seasoned people will be inspired to follow the suit and adopt such kinds of audience education,which will go a long way. Komal/ Anu ru hearing

[@anish6665]

This could've been completely in English so that more people get to know the process of making this epic.

[@sdrajendra8999]

Great insight from an audience point of view to understand what it takes to produce such a huge scale of a movie!

[@detoxwriter6116]

Inspiring ❤

[@AmbojHakimkar]

0:30 Interesting thing to see

[@roopabee8542]

Seems like a template for other Indian productions.

[@adharshsureshgopalan7637]

Br, please try to do a masterclass on casting in films

[@kaushikchawda]

Please Add English Subtitles For Entire Video

[@karnataneja]

Yes pls! We all love tamil cinema, but subtitles are a must :p

[@PrathinavRaghavendar]

I wanted these 2 to meet to know more on the BTS of the film

[@kadaramcityhd1992]

Nice

[@nithinmadhu680]

Is he have any blood relation with mani ratnam ? Feels like mani ratnam talks in 2X

[@adharshsureshgopalan7637]

Yara Ithu Maniratnam thambi mari irukan 😂

[@tamizhnesan4622]

'Irukan' idhuleye nalla valarppunu theriyuthu🤗

[@Amar_monk]

Oru Nalla padatha kudutha mariye pesranga paarunga saar. Production efforts however tough it is goes unnoticed when the underlying story and the movie as a whole is not good. PS movies are not MR's best, and production sucked in those war scenes too. Someone will laugh at PS like they laughed for Parthiban kanavu I guess 😂

[@anirudh5870]

It’s a good movie according to critics and the box office. If you don’t like it, you’re in the minority. Seri according to you, yethu nalla padam, sollunga.

[@ShankarBalachandran]

Completion and release of this movie is an achievement in itself. I don't think anyone is laughing at MR rather surprised about his will power to complete this.

[@pragathesh0775]

Yaathisai .

[@saisharan4200]

Ignore him guys 😅

[@saisharan4200]

​@@pragathesh0775 You got nice sense of humour 👍🏻

[@tamizhnesan4622]

He is co-producing KH234 along with Kamal & Maniratnam 😯

[@peterk6674]

good interview. he played uncle role in chekka chivantha vaanam. probably the worst acting ever.
