SELVARAGHAVAN'S CONVERSATION WITH AN OSCAR WINNING LEGEND

Here goes a conversation in Twitter between the legendary Academy Award winning director of movies like 'The Exorcist' and 'The French Connection', the 80 years old William Friedkin and our very own Selvaraghavan.

 

William Friedkin: 42 years ago, yes, The Exorcist opened in 26 Theaters in the U.S. Seems like yesterday. My gratitude to the generations of audiences

 

Selvaraghavan: @WilliamFriedkin sir..I don't know you will read this but I just want to tell you it was a poem on celluloid. A benchmark. A milestone.

 

Selvaraghavan: @WilliamFriedkin I'm a filmmaker from India, so far made ten films. Only God knows how many people like me worship you around the world.

 

William Friedkin: @selvaraghavan I've read it Selva and I'm honored. Thank you

 

Selvaraghavan: OMG...one of my lifetime ambition is fulfilled... 

 

William Friedkin: @selvaraghavan As filmmakers we are all of the same Brotherhood and Sisterhood, wherever we are in the world.

 

Selvaraghavan: Sir..it's an honour to get a reply from you which I can't describe in words. Choking. Thanks.from your biggest fan.

 

William Friedkin: @selvaraghavan The honor is mine and let us stay in contact

 

Selvaraghavan: Yes sir. it's to an honour of unimaginable boundaries. And all I can ask is please visit INDIA whenever you have time. 

 

Quite a conversation indeed! Meanwhile, the Selvaraghavan written Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam releases on Jan 1 and his fans are eagerly watching out for this one.
