Joseph, thanks for the link. Aiyo - so this is going to become an obsession among Tamil actors too, eh? I saw Surya in Vel last year and thought he looked perfectly delish as is, and actually, the moustache was a boon.

One of the best interviews. Bollywood journos never seem to go beyond the basic questions. They can learn a lesson or two from your interview with Mani! Have you seen his Mouna Ragam (Tamil), Unaru (Malayalam), Geetanjali(Telugu), Agni Nakshatram (Tamil) and Dalapati (Tamil)? All these movies had excellent musical score by Ilaiyaraaja (great songs and amazing background scores), as did all his movies until Roja, which marked the entry of Rahman, who has scored for all his films since 1992.. Mani's very first film was in Kannada titled "Pallavi - Anu Pallavi" and starred Anil Kapoor and Lakshmi (of Julie fame). Trivia: Its hit song "Naguva Nayana" has been copied by Lintas as a popular TV commercial theme music for IDEA Cellular. BTW, Rediff didn't quite publicise your piece on the site (I guess they couldn't get any controversial stuff) Take a bow Maria! One of the best interviews.
