Tamil superstar Kamal Haasan is jealous of director Mani Ratnam at the audio release of Ponniyin Selvan 2. Recently, Haasan heaped praise on the filmmaker for succeeding where he had failed. He also said that one needs the courage to make a movie like this.

According to a report in OTTPlay, Kamal Haasan said, "People today debated whether it was love or courage that was the reason behind the success of this movie. I believe it's both. And director (Mani Ratnam) is a prime example of it. The great love he had for Ponniyin Selvan is well known. Even I'm a lover (of that book). But, he continued to follow his love and turned it into courage. You need the courage to make a movie like this."

The Vikram actor further noted, "Why many people can't make a movie like this? Because it's not possible. It's fear. And one should feel so much fear. It doesn't mean Mani Ratnam didn't have fear while making this movie. He would have felt it too. But, you know what's courage? Pretending as if one has no fear."

"All great artists (from around the world) should join forces and work together. We don't have time to feel jealous. The truth is we don't have any time at all. I'm not saying it for people of my age group. It's for everyone. Because life itself is short and the opportunity to work in movies is ever shorter. And during that short period, we should make use of this opportunity and work together," Kamal Haasan said.

The megastar also described the current phase of Tamil cinema as the "golden age." He said, "We need to celebrate this golden age of Tamil cinema, nurture it, and cherish it."

Ponniyin Selvan 2 will hit the theatres on April 28, 2023. The movie stars Aishwarya Rai, Trisha Krishnan, Chiyaan Vikram, and more.
