Vikram is back from the Venice Film
Festival, which he had attended along
with Mani Ratnam and Suhasini. Raavanan
was screened during this fest and Mani
was awarded the prestigious Jaeger Le
Coultre Glory to the Filmmaker award.
The actor recalls the reaction of the
audience who had watched the film. He
said that most of the audiences were Italians
with only a handful of Indians. However,
the response to the Usure Poguthey and
Kodu Potta songs was astounding. Vikram
adds that the viewers thoroughly enjoyed
scenes in which Priyamani appeared.
When all three were called on stage soon
after the screening which ended at 1:30
am, the entire theatre reverberated with
a thunderous applause, recalls Vikram.
