'The only tragedy of Manam is that ANR is not alive to see it'

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, who recently saw veteran Tamil actor Akkineni Nageswara Rao's last film Manam, says it's a daring film.

'Just Saw Manam. ..If it was made in Bollywood it wud hav straight gone for 100 crores..its an avant garde product but deeply rooted in earth. Manam is the first constructive demonstration that Tollywood actually can go into a new age of cinema thus breaking done to death shackles. There was a standing ovation at the end in the theatre I saw Manam which I doubt ever happens for a telugu film. I feared Chaitanya would feel overawed in sharing the same screen space with Nag but he was terrific,' RGV tweeted.

'In fact in Manam, Chaitanya was way far better than how Nag was in his first screen sharing experience with ANR. Both Nag and Vikram deserve multiple salutes for making a film like Manam happen. Nag and Chaitanya's onscreen chemistry is the best I ever saw between two actors. The only tragedy of Manam is that ANR is not alive to see this astounding celebration of human emotions. From the time ANR brought the industry to Hderabad to Nag taking it further on to a new age cinema...that's what I call a great journey,' he added.
