The news of Mani Ratnam coming up with an epic anthology with 9 talented directors for 9 amazing stories has piqued our interest ever since the news of this project broke out! The team had come together as an initiative to raise several crores to help those in need in the Tamil film industry.
The nine-film anthology, presented by Mani Ratnam and Jayendra Pachapakesan, is based on the nine rasas (emotions) - anger, compassion, courage, disgust, fear, laughter, love, peace and wonder.
The anthology will be helmed by the following nine directors - Priyadarshan, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Karthik Subbaraj, Karthick Naren, Bejoy Nambiar, Rathindran Prasad, Arvind Swami (directorial debut), Vasanth S Sai and Sarjun KM.
