Filmmaker Prasanth Varma, who is gearing up for the superhero movie ‘HanuMan’, opened up on choosing this story, rather than focusing on Indian epics like ‘Ramayana’ or ‘Mahabharata’.
The ‘Kalki’ director said as a filmmaker he was not ready to tell the stories of Ramayana or Mahabharata.
‘HanuMan’ is a pan-Indian superhero flick with a unique narrative. It tells the tale of a boy who becomes a superhero after channeling the power of Lord Hanuman.
The ‘Zombie Reddy ‘ director said: “I didn’t think I was ready as a filmmaker to tell the stories of Ramayana or Mahabharata as we know them. I will probably be ready to tell these stories in the future so that I can live up to people’s expectations.”
However, Varma acknowledges the timeless drama within ‘Itihasas’, drawing inspiration from these narratives while intricately weaving his own stories within a cinematic universe that seamlessly blends the familiar with the novel.

As Children’s Day Treat from director Prasanth Varma and the whole team of ‘HanuMan’, the makers have released a Children’s Day special song with an animated video called ‘Superhero HanuMan’.
An extremely tongue-in-cheek and deliberately childish song, it is both witty, as well as totally self-aware as it mocks standard superhero tropes.
The song is sung by the duo of Sai Veda Vagdevi, and Prakruthi Reddy. Penned by Kumaar, who also wrote lyrics for Srk’s mega-blockbuster ‘Jawan’, the song is extremely fun and light hearted, and while the vocals and instrumentation are really good, the lyrics may just be the best part.
Normally this would be called cringe or irritating, but its tongue-in-cheek humour really sets the track apart as one by one it tears every popular superhero from Marvel and DC to shreds. As Sai and Prakruthi sing in a very childish manner about how powerful...

When last we saw the title character of Mani Ratnam’s epic “Ponniyin Selvan” saga, the real-life prince who would expand the Chola empire from South India all the way to the Ganges in the north was drowning as he crossed from Lanka to India. Instead of picking up at that cliffhanger, the action-packed second installment rewinds a few decades to focus on different characters, before circling back to reveal the fate of Jayam Ravi’s title character, also known as Arunmozhi Varman.
“Ponniyin Selvan: Part Two” starts by filling in the backstory of how Arunmozhi’s older brother, Crown Prince Aditha Karikalan (Vikram), fell for Nandini (Aishwariya Rai Bachchan), an orphaned girl living with a priest family at the local temple. The royal family disapproved of him marrying a girl whose antecedents weren’t known, and so she was chased off. The story then picks up to when reports...
