Uraiyaadal and stuff.. | Gautham Vasudev Menon & Mani Ratnam 

As Mani sir is sitting comfortable cool and relaxed that's fine not a problem....then see GVM sir sitting on the edge of the chair paying respect to the great legend.. .oh man that is too awesome.... This is how we learn to respect the legends.....

People here who are complaining about speaking in English, but people forget that Mani Ratnam and Gautham Menon have lot of multi language fans. Plus there are countless Tamil interviewers in our industry, why can't we promote a few English interviews. It gives a new perspective of people and their thoughts.

The way GVM sits in front of Mani sir itself shows how much he respects him. #legends

As a non-tamilian When i saw this video in my recommendation while i was clicking on it I prayed their conversation to be in english. Glad that it was in english. 2 real genius's

Gautham can't hide his smile, he just adores Mani Sir.

OMG! 2 of my fav directors. This interview is so delightful and so much inspiration for any film maker to learn & pickup ideas! 🍷👍

I love How mani said "You tell me how you write"

It's like Arjuna listening to the Gita from Krishna knowing that Krishna is indeed God himself. Its incredible how naturally humble GVM is putting Mr Ratnam on a pedestal.

who r all came to comment section... to knw wat ppl think of two classy directors!!!!!

Gautams Posture shows the respect he has for Mani sir..

I've never seen mani ratnam talk so much!, for that kudos to gvm!, it's a talent u have actually

One of the coolest conversation Mani ratnam looks cool ...classiness overloaded True legend

😃😃😃😍 Both Love Story Legends In One Frame Agree ?? 😊

57:53 that music with his immense respect to his guru makes me emotional watching my guru GVM,is pure delight and a true fan boy moment. Once and always a #gvmfan! 💙

GVM sir is still has a child like enthusiasm while asking questions and clearing doubts... what a Man!👌

GVM speaks a #paragraph, MANI spends a #SENTENCE.

Two men because of whom class and romance prevails in Tamil Cinema

I lived vicariously through Gautham on this one! I appreciate his earnest demeanour and the child like awe he had in meeting his inspiration. Mani sir was his usual genuine self. This was a pleasure to watch, loved it!

Thank god they have chosen to converse in English. Their movies are seen by almost entire southern part of India.

Manirathnam`s flow of conversation is really beautiful and uninterrupted ... it kept me watching without fast-forwarding.. Another thing which should be noticed is Gouwtham`s immense respect to his senior Manirathnam..! Thank you for organizing this talk.

This one is epic.I always feel GVM has same style of making like Mani sir.Can feel the vibe when they speak😍.

What do 2 Genius's talk when they meet ? They talk about another genius " KAMALHAASAN "

Just love this conversation between the 2 legends of our generations ..im sure tamil industry is very lucky to have them

This is one of those videos which you just wanted to sift through but end up watching fully . Can’t stop.

Maniratnam places himself in the shadow part. Whereas Gowtham is facing the lights... I kinda like that..👍😊

Jeez ,Their eyes are filled with passion.

Loved the way Mani sir opened up about the nuances in film-making that he experienced. With the right questions in mind about getting to know the legendary director, GVM made it! Except for a better title, let us all learn to appreciate and not take stress on the language criteria as it would only make the reach higher!

Convo between great master and a perfect student., I think here language doesn't speaks., seeing them means those two legends together is great pleasure for us., and you men are my day to day inspiration 🙏

how can that guy behind the glass sit casually when two great filmmakers are having a convo?

Why are these guys so humble...

Productive time I've spent watching this conversation. Mani Ratnam is a pride for Indian cinema

I'm more invested in what the boy behind talking to the girl for almost one hour.

The last sequence about Mohanlal and Kamal gave me goosebumps

THIS surely is intense and kinda makes me realize that I am actually listening to what actually Gautham TALKS whilst just asking questions..in awe, indeed!

First time watching a one hour RU-vid video without skipping a second, master class interview both my favourite #Mani sir and #GVM

Heavenly feel... Complete package of classic... My most fav 2 directors.. they both r the reason to choose filmmaking as my passion and profession... Love u sirs....

This is Gold!😍!.. You two gentlemen should sit together for a project for sure. Thank you GVM & Ondraga Entertainment. Hope, you guys do more often like this type of interviews with different personalities.

I am surprised at myself that I had not seen this. Two great guys and a candid conversation. Illuminating. As a physician, all I can think of is precision in thinking that reverberated in Mani. My best wishes to both of them. Now with more time back in India, I am going to make sure that I watch every piece of work by the both of them.

32:55 Gowtham "I have seen you at the place where Sriram sings. I started coming there only after I got that you are there. And whenever your songs pay, I have seen smile on your face". True fanboy moment. How much a true fan, follower would admire not only his idol's work but the person as a whole as well.

The best interview ever by Mani Sir. Thanks a lot GVM

happiness is watching your favourites in a conversation 😍😘 #inspiration

Guys chill. Since the interview is in English - As a North Indian I can have the privilege of watching this interview. English is just a language. Tamil is a great language but lets not get too obsessed that only Tamil must be spoken.

That dialogue Uraiyadal and stuff you know from "vettaiyadu vilayadu"😍😍

It was pleasure and just awesome to see two legends coming together over an interesting talk. Simple and genuine. Thank you Goutham Sir for a thoughtful, sensible and candid conversation. Loved it.

I haven't yet watched it... But I know it will b one of the best interviews I will b watching in my life... 2 people who have inspired me to love... I don't know how many times I m going to watch this.. Thank u GVM sir...

A brilliant chat.. well thought-out and chartered by Gautham! It brings out the various thought processes and nuances from a master professional, well done Gautham Vasudev Menon!! It is so soul refreshing to chat or listen to people who push the limits in their domain, always aiming excellence. Many thanks for putting this out... it is indeed a rare piece of a rare professional!

@38:50 Man Ratnam: You may be surprised there so much of nastiness inside you.. when you write it. GVM: Smiling (என்கிட்டவேவா.. ) That smile is priceless. He has created some amazing antagonists.

Am I the only person sensing volume is too low r that excitement in me is louder than the vedio

Wow thats amazing..... Two legendary directors made this evening more magical.... Mani ratanam Sir was ready to share his experiences with enthusiasm and gautham sir was more conscious to get knowledge from him. Superb conversation..... One request to gautham please say about ur new music director buzz... And he is good talented product for GVM output 😃😃😄

😍 Both Romantic Story Legends In One Frame Agree 😊

This is the first time I heard this word "Outlandish". Worth watching 3 mins of this video. 🤗🙈

Very good conversation. Very poised and enjoyed thoroughly! Maniratnam always comes across as a very humble personality and the years of experience shows his calm and composed attitude. Equal credits should be given to his team also as he is the best only because he works with the best!

ലോക്കഡോൺ കാലമാണ്... ടൈം പാസ്സ് നു കാണാൻ തുടങ്ങി... വായും തുറന്നിരുന്നു കണ്ടു പോയി... രണ്ടു പുലികൾ ഇരുന്നു അര്മാദിക്കുന്നു....

My first and second favorite Directors, exchanging thoughts! GVM asking all the questions I wanted to ask the King of Film making! This is awesome. I feel like I am living my life to the fullest. Thanking both of you for inspiring so much. #Ondraga Entertainment

Watching this again in 2020... My quarantine days watching this gentleman movies in a daily basis one by one... Love you maniratnam sir and gvm Anna! Lots of love for this two respected gentleman's... Seeing them in real is a wish for me.

Can see the respect in gautham sir's eyes and body language and the way he sit and in everything.

It's a fan boy interviewing his idol.

Such an amazing interaction from 2 most amazing filmmakers. brilliant interview, so must of respect shown for each other, acknowledging each other for every word & gesture is such wonderful moment to watch. feel like watching Nayagan, Thalapathy, Mounnaragam in fact all the 80's movie all over again. thank you both for amazing feeling.

And finally dint had to switch between videos to see them, This one such a great video of both my favourite makers.

Goutham sir, Lokesh Kanagaraj said he inspired by your films. You are a different version of Manirathnam sir's film making. I use to see Mani sir's films for cinematography which is world-class always.

First of all thanks to GVM sir. I was waiting for this so long, even I dreamt of this before. I liked the way u people make movies. I never had any second thought before buying a ticket because I trust you people and simply sit and watch. U both are fantastic. I am expecting more movies good or bad, slow or fast I will sit and watch. Even my friends says to others don't ask review about GVM or mani sir movies to raj he will confuse u more then GVM and mani sir.

wow !!! Somehow I naturally feel this conversation like teacher-student type ....☺☺

i dont understand y people r arguing over the language, while what is being conveyed in the dialogue is amazing and truly inspirational. Being a huge fan of both these amazing directors, it was truly excited to watch them together. It not always necessary that we should take things from them and apply it to only film industry, theres so much u can take in life. Hope ppl see the BIGGER PICTURE rather than confine themselves to the arguments on their mode of communication. THIS IS WORTH SHARING, sad that not many have shared this and but pls do...Peace out V :)

A must see conversation for budding filmmakers. "Desire to excel", "Happy accidents" - superb! It is nice to know about the working style of Mani ratnam & Goutham menon.

Wow, such insightful questions....Gautham was genuinely looking to learn and understand Mani sir and in the process so did we !!

this is the greatest interview tamil cinema fans have ever seen. thank you ondraga entertainment.

Mind Blowing! There is a reason why we call people legends.

Heartening to find Gautham also pained with just one collaboration between Mani and Kamal.

the nayagan scene which mani explains...the way he did was wattewow!!! thanx gvm

Nice Conversation....!! surprised to see both REAL film making directors together sharing thier experience. hats off to Mr. Gautham for making it happen.

The way GVM shows respect to Mani Sir with his body language makes me respect GVM much more. Its like a teacher-student conversation.

How beautifully they expressed the ideas and all we see in comment section was this language fight...Felt very bad.. Coz this interview is a big inspiration for future filmmakers and coz its in english it reached into more young aspiring filmakers.. ..

14:07 A direct parallel to Francis Ford Coppola asking Marlon Brando for the character of Vito Corleone in The Godfather. Mother of coincidence.

Really great work by Gautam Sir, as this was one bold step to get along with Mani Ratnam sir, which is actually a great inspiring one, even I could say it actually triggers up the fire and giving more details to our own emotions and passion towards film making..! Two great passionate film makers at the same table and giving lot of inspiration and fueling the heat of getting something done to portray to this living world! Kudos to the team and Mani sir!!!

Accidentally I found this interview after watching this I felt very nice especially GVM looks and you he way he asked questions and the way he gives respect to mani ratnam I just do like wow

My all time favourite directors in my lifetime 😘😍 GVM sir and Maniratnam sir

GVM loves kamal, he keeps referencing him and he has said that on almost every platform how much of a kamal veriyan he is,I Hope you make a film with kamal sir again .

Loved this...now I want see RGV and Maniratnam talking about each others films and their craft.

So delightful to watch both of them talk.. The sitting posture of Gautam through out the interview shows the respect he has for Mani Ratnam. Very classy personalities who have taken films to another level. Subtitles could have been added in tamil for Tamil fans.

Great professionals. Look how they are interacting with each other. Just awesome. True legendary film makers. Classy dudes 👍

Two couples behind the window are talking something important than these guys 😂😂

Gautham Sir , You stole the show. Great body language, it's a pleasure to watch you speaking. Your hands were equally expressive like your eyes. It's so beautiful to watch. For example , when you were discussing about writing , you were literally writing on the air while saying "writing" .. Chance ah Ille ..! Your question choices were perfect. They were technical enough yet simple to understand for non-media person like me. Mani Sir's explanation to your questions were simply superb. I didn't get bored with an hour of watching this interview..best thing I liked is smoothness of your speech , rightly paced conversation without shouting from rooftop. Sometimes your questions were conversational and lengthy. On those occasions , it is good to restate the question when you finish so that it gives clarity for viewers on what is been asked. Your shoulders were little loose. Sometimes you need that for casual look but ,too loose makes it little sloppy.. Probably sitting upright and then relaxing the shoulder may help I think .. :) and innum ore ore point :) .."and stuff like that " eh filler ah adikadi use pannreenge . Please just be aware of that. Overall it's a great work . way to go ..!

GVM... What are you doing to me ... I'm gravitating to you and your charisma... Love your voice, love your movies and how you perceive and portray love... Hmmmmmmm.... You make me regret being single... You've set such a beautiful aura of love.. I've never met you but i miss you 🎉❤️ You're amazing and I'm all hearts for you GVM ❤️

Mani Sir's voice deserves an Oscar

both of them have a pan India appeal and also they have fans all over the world and that justifies their conversation in English!

what a superb interview... very emotional last part of speech by GVM.. it jus reflected in Maniratnam's face... truly the best interview..

Wow! 2 of my most favorite and respected directors. I can watch them talk all day everyday! lovely 'Uraiyaadal' ✨ Want another one soon...

GVM you are a good interviewer - thanks for producing a nice conversation! This one clearly is for archives of Tamil cinema, with Madras peter and all :-)

Brilliant interview Gautam and Mani sir. It's such a pleasure to see two great filmmakers on screen together indulging in such a keen yet simple interview...! Being an avid scriptwriter myself, it was very interesting to hear Mani sirs insights into scriptwriting and filmmaking. Gautam sir, I am your biggest fan! It's a dream to associate with you and hope it comes true one day.

I see 2 legend of tamil cinema. One i know before other. But actually hierarchy is different I got to know gautham before maniratnam . But maniratnam took me over and he is on to me. Legend that i came to know lately. See the conversation. One intellectual conversation worth watching 1 hour

The David and Goliath of tamil industry ..and mani sir you just create a magical carpet while talking about your past and your point of views are just inspiring.

Watching the gentleman who inspired me with the gentleman who inspired him

wow semma ithukaga than romba nal wait pannitu erunthen

No wonder they both are genuine and genius.. one of the best interviews watched so far. Lot more to learn from these two. Respect..Inclusive....deliver..execution..and lot more. Stay blessed and lot more to expect from these two.
