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.

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.

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 ? 🎉

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 !

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.

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.

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.)

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 ! :)

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 😂

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

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.)

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

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

So educative. This is a management masterclass

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...

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

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.

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

Wonderful interview. Very nice and superb 👌 👏

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

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

No words! Thank you both!

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

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 🙏🏽🙏🏽

I had a nice time watching this Interview :)

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

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.

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

Every second is just so worth it for the layman.

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

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.

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

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

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!!

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

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.

Need more such interviews, please 😊

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

Inspiring ❤

Wow, This was such a great interview :)

Good work PS team❤❤

Can you please provide subtitles?

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

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

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

Thank you God #BR

BR vera level interview ps

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.

Nice

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

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

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

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

Please Add English Subtitles For Entire Video

Seems like a template for other Indian productions.

Great Insights

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!

❤

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

Yara Ithu Maniratnam thambi mari irukan 😂

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 😂

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

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