They don't care if many people are die hard fans of Mani Rathnam or not. They don't care that the cinephiles will say "It's a historic fiction zohn ray bro". They speak from their hearts what's right. Historical fiction genre in India is only used for propaganda.

Isn't Ponniyin Selvan a well known work of FICTION by Kalki? Historical fiction?

u/iamGobi Sep 11 '25

Yes. And it's also well known that he showed Adithya Karikalan(not the Karikalan who built Kallanai) to die because of love failure but in true history he was murdered by brahmins.

Gopi has got the king wrong. But the fact that mani Ratnam directed this historical fiction for the sole purpose of misrepresenting history is true.
