Mani
Ratnam"s
Raavanan
might
have
received
mixed
reviews
in
India,
but
the
international
audiences
have
appreciated
Mani
Ratnam"s
outstanding
skill
of
filmmaking
style
and
Vikram"s
extraordinary
performance.
Vikram,
who
had
flown
down
to
37th
Venice
International
Film
Festival
was
astounded
with
the
feedback
of
audiences.
Actor
Vikram
says
that
the
film
Raavanan
was
screened
during
the
third
week
of
Venice
International
Film
Festival
and
the
auditorium
was
packed
with
around
700
international
audiences,
amongst
which
there
were
less
than
a
dozen
of
Indians.
Soon
after
the
screening,
the
audiences
gave
away
standing
ovation
nearly
for
10
mins.
Adding
more,
Vikram
said,
“I
was
surprised
to
see
that
the
audiences
didn"t
understand
the
language
and
yet
they
responded
well.
They
really
loved
the
song
'Usure
Poguthey" and
started
dancing
along
for
the
song
'Kodu
Potta".
When
we
were
asked
to
come
upon
the
dais,
one
of
the
Italian
superstars
expressed
his
wish
to
work
with
Mani
Ratnam
in
an
Italian
film.
Whatever
maybe
the
results,
Mani
Ratnam
remains
the
same,
but
for
the
first
time
I
could
see
his
eyes
were
filled
with
unrestrained
happiness."
The
actor
also
mentioned
that
his
responsibilities
have
literally
increased
now
and
assured
that
he
will
continue
working
harder
for
the
best
results
for
his
future
projects.
Vikram
has
now
signed
a
film
to
be
directed
by
AL
Vijay
of
Madrasapattinam
fame
and
the
film
will
go
on
floors
by
next
month.
