has
released
a
book
on
the
making
of
Shivaji

at
his
Ragavendra
Kalyana
Mandapam.
It

Celluloid
Varai.
The
book,
published
by
Kizhakku
Pathippakam,
one

bring
out
a
lot
of
unknown
information
about
the
making
of
the

from
the

Ranimainthan
gave
lot
of
information
on
the
film's
world
wide
release
and
box
office
collection
etc.
Though
the
movie
has
reached
Silver
Jubilee,
there
is
no
much
official
and
reliable
information
about
the
film
so
far.
It
is
in
this
context
Ranimainthan's
book
gains
importance.
In
this
book,
the

given
several
photos
and
other
details
about
the
actor's
strains
and
efforts
to
make
every
scene
with
originality.
He
explained
how
the
actor
has
avoided
dupe
in
all
the
risky
fight
scenes
and
the
much
talked
Athiradikkara
song
sequences.
According
to
the
publisher,
initially
the
actor
didn't
show
much
interest
on
this
book,
but
later
he
gave
an
exclusive
interview
to
the
author
after
he
came
to
know
the
purpose
and
honesty
in
the
making
of
this
book.
Badri
Seshadri,
the
Managing
Director
of
the
publishing
house,
wanted
to

the
book
by

Superstar
Rajinikanth
had
honored
the
request
and
gave
time
for
the
function
immediately
with
one
condition.
He
asked
the
publishers
and
AVM
Saravanan
to
come
