★★ Rani Velu Nachiyar ★★╝◆Lady Superstar Nayanthara ◆ Directed by Susi Ganeshan
Historical movies have been raking the moolah in the box office and currently Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan is under production. Now the latest news is that director Susi Gensan is all set to come up with a biography of Queen Velu Nachiyar. It is reported that the movie will have Nayanthara in the role of Velu Nachiyar.Rani Velu Nachiyar was a queen of Sivaganga estate from 1780 to 1790. Known by Tamils as Veeramangai, she was the first Indian queen to wage a war with the East India Company in India.
While Nayanthara was seen in the Telugu historical drama, Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy with Chiranjeevi, the movie received a luke-warm welcome in the box office. However, Nayanthara’s latest outing as Mookuthi Amman, which released on OTT has been a big hit. She is currently busy with multiple projects in Tamil and Malayalam, which include Rajinikanth’s Annaatthe, Netrikkann and Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal directed by her beau Vignesh Shivan.
Susi Ganesan's last outing was in Thiruttupayalae 2, a sequel to his successful movie, Thiruttupayale. Though there is no official confirmation from the filmmaker's side, it is said that the project is very much under consideration and the nitty-gritty of the casting and budgeting are going on.
In the recent years, there has been a surge in biopic and also historical movies. From Baahubali (1 and 2) to Padmaavat, Bajirao Mastani, Mani Karnima, Rudrammadevi, and Tanhaji, there have been several historical dramas. However, Tamil cinema, once known for mythological and historical movies, didn’t have any such movies after Superstar Rajinikanth-starrer Kochadaiiyaan, an animated film, released in 2014.
