Ace
director
Mani
Ratnam
who
is
eagerly
waiting
to
see
his
fans'
reaction
once
OK
Kanmani(O
Kadhal
Kanmani)
hits
the
screen
this
Friday
has
spoken
about
his
film
and
much
more
in
a
recent
interview.
Talking
about
the
storyline
of
the
Dulquer-Nithya
starrer,
the
maverick
filmmaker
surprisingly
said
that
OK
Kanmani
is
a
simple
film
with
a
simple
concept.
"It
is
about
the
relationship
between
a
boy
and
a
girl
and
what
they
want
out
of
their
life",
he
said.
Sure
enough,
this
new
Mani
Ratnam
film
was
touted
to
be
the
new
age
Alaipayuthey.
Ask
him
about
his
not
so
healthy
relationship
with
the
Censor
Board
and
the
Nayagan
director
is
quick
to
react
by
saying
the
story
goes
back
to
the
Mouna
Ragam
days.
There
is
this
famous
story
which
talks
about
how
the
Censor
Board
had
decided
to
award
Mouna
Ragam
an
A
certificate
just
because
the
heroine
of
the
film
asks
for
divorce
and
Mani,
as
he
is
fondly
called
went
down
the
memory
lane
pretty
quickly.
"When
other
art
forms
do
not
have
to
go
through
censors,
why
should
movies
have
to,
which
subsequently
curbs
the
creative
freedom
of
a
director"?
He
asks.
Yearning
for
a
change
in
the
system,
he
also
said,
sometimes
it
makes
him
wonder
how
Hindi
films
with
much
bolder
themes
makes
it
through
hassle-free.
Will
India's
one
of
the
most
respected
director's
questions
be
answered?
Let's
wait
and
watch.
Stay
tuned
for
further
updates
on
this
and
all
the
exciting
movies
scheduled
to
be
released
later
this
week.
