-I think most of us ( including me) are afraid of a ponniyin selvan serial because it will demolish the imagination we have built while reading the text. but just imagine the reach a serial will have on those who have not read the book. it will do wonders for the publicity of kalkis novels.
I accept that. All popular avenues need to be explored to gain maximum reach. At the same time, if it is being made, it better be made properly. Else, it will tarnish the serial.
I know very well it is difficult to satisy everyone. athuvum namma ovvoruththarum mansula pala karpanaigal vachchirukkom. That is the power of kalki's words.
The serial needn't satisfy everyone. But it should at least live up to the standards of Ramayanam and Mahabaratham serials which were made beautifully.
The cast is highly important. Namma group-la munname niraiya star cast ellam suggest panni irukkanga. antha alavukku stars illainalum konjam decent-a irukkanum.
Like Dhiwakar said, Nitish Bharadwaj as Krishnan was a good choice. The same way for Arun Govil and Deepika.
