00:00There was no such thing as Hindu religion during Rajaraja's time.
00:31There was no such thing as Hindu religion during Rajaraja's time.
00:34There was Vainamam, Saivam and Samanam.
00:37But those were the names given to us by the white people.
00:40They didn't know what to say.
00:42They just said Tutukurai, Tutukurai.
00:44That's what I'm saying.
00:46We had different religions.
00:48In the 8th century, Adi Shankara,
00:50who was the king of India,
00:52was the king of India.
00:54He was the king of India.
00:56He was the king of India.
00:58In the 8th century,
01:00Adi Shankara founded Shanmada.
01:02This is history.
01:04We shouldn't talk about that history here.
01:06Because we are praising the history itself.
01:08We don't need to praise our history.
01:10We don't need to ridicule it.
01:12We don't need to bring it here due to language issues.
01:14They are good artists.
01:16They are good actors.
01:18Ambigavathi and Amaravathi,
01:20written by Marai Mellaiyadigal,
01:22have no connection to the past.
01:24But all of us have seen and enjoyed the films.
01:26If you go to a temple in Kanchipuram,
01:28they will tell you that this is the temple of Ambigavathi and Amaravathi.
01:30There is no such person in history.
01:32But people believe that there is a temple.
01:34So, this is history.
01:36But it is not a history book.
01:40For example,
01:42they made a film called Waterloo.
01:44That is a true history.
01:46The film about the fall of Napoleon.
01:48That is a history film.
01:50This is not that.
01:52It is a history book.
01:54Where do you start from?
01:56You can name it Sampoorna Ramayanam.
02:00How do you start from that?
02:02So, there are many problems.
02:04If you want to talk about history,
02:06that is why they have divided it into two parts.
02:08It cannot be in one film.
02:10I feel that
02:12the people who read the book
02:14could have had four more scenes.
02:16I will not accept that as a criticism.
02:18Because it is a book called Godfather,
02:20written by Mario Puzo.
02:22Today, they could have made
02:24Part 4 and Part 5.
02:26They have taken what they need
02:28and made it.
02:30This is a difficult task.
02:32So,
02:34this is not a chosen film.
02:36It is a film made by us.
02:38I can only say that
02:40don't get angry.
02:42Other than that,
02:44this is a big effort.
02:46Tamil Iyakunar has made a film
02:48like Ridley Scott.
02:50That kind of a film
02:52is not available
02:54in their budget.
02:56But our collections
02:58are getting closer.
