Why Vijay said NO to Mani Ratnam..!? Historical film..?
Everyone is celebrating ponniyin selvan, which has been released and directed by Mani Ratnam. More than two weeks after its release, the film is still running to housefuls in theatres. And the collection of the film has also broken the record of many films. In this situation, it is known what is the reason why Vijay did not act in this film. That means mani ratnam was going to start this ponniyin selvan movie in 2011. At that time Vijay has been chosen for the character of Vandiyathevan and mahesh babu for the character of Arulmozhivarman.
Also, anushka was going to play Nandini and vikram was going to play Aditha Karikalan. All talks have been held and everyone has agreed. But at that time vikram got an opportunity to act in another historical film called Karikalan. He went on to act in a very powerful story. Saddened by this, mani ratnam abandoned the decision to make ponniyin selvan as he could not see anyone else in the role of Aditha Karikalan.
At that time, Vijay, who was very keen to act in the film, was disappointed. At the same time, Vikram's Karikalan movie has also been shelved due for some reasons.Mani Ratnam tried to make the film again in 2020 after many years.
Then again Vijay was asked about this. But he has already turned down this opportunity due to the disappointment of acting in the movie Puli. Vijay's film released a few years ago did not do as well as expected. So Vijay has decided not to act in such historical characters anymore. That's why he refused to ask for Mani Ratnam.
