The entire film industry and even the TIME magazine opine that Nayagan is one of the best movies of all time. Director Mani Ratnam, the man behind the movie in an interview revealed some unknown secrets about the movie.
“I was originally invited to do a remake for Kamal Haasan who was doing some of the best commercial entertainers of the time. When I said remakes won’t work for me, all he asked was what works for me. That’s when I narrated an one liner of Velu Nayakkar and then we build a story around it. It was supposed to have been a remake of some sort but became a critically acclaimed film by chance,” said Mani Ratnam in a nostalgic tone.
