I said it sounded ancient, but he was sure it would win. My team and I came up with a lot of English names, but Kalaignar listened to them and suggested this. Until he arrived and sat in his seat, my heart was in my mouth.Īnother very memorable event was the naming of the show. I begged and pleaded with him to make it somehow, and he did, with a raging fever. There was no one else I could call at such short notice and it wouldn't have looked good. He was supposed to come at 7 pm, but at 3 pm, he called and said he wouldn't be able to make it. I don't think anyone has ever attempted that on Tamil television, before. The season 4 finale at the Nehru stadium. Tell us about some of the more memorable incidents on the show We came up with so many different sets: Railway stations, deserts, the Egyptian set for Season 5 everything was different, and was extra creative because it had to fit within the budget.
Early on, I made sure that the show was going to have a lot of individuality it mustn't be like anything on Tamil TV, before. My team of technicians makes it possible. How difficult is it to come up with them every week? One of Manada Mayilada's biggest attractions is the dazzling sets. I ended up producing, directing and judging the show, all in one. I, my husband and sister used to sit at home, wrangling over the funds and how best to use them. I contacted Jaivel, a cameraman and we came up with concepts and plots to use in the show. I decided that if I was going to head this show, I would do something different. I'd just delivered my boy and I was in Kerala, choreographing songs, when I got a call from Kalaignar TV, asking if I'd be interested in doing a dance show. Various people had been telling me for years that I could enter the small screen, that I should put my talents to good use. I never expected to be able to do something like this. The sheer amount of talent they show is amazing. By the time 15 episodes are gone, the team begins to set and the dancers begin to realize what they're doing the reach they and the show have. I need to work these things out for at least five or six weeks into a new season. And I have to run around, talk to them, tell them what a great opportunity this is and how they'll find their feet later on.
Someone or the other will call at midnight and say, Master, I can't dance with my partner. You literally have to slave your heart out to get a show like this running smoothly. Manada Mayilada has crossed 150 successful weeks. Kala Master shares details about its journey and hers, with Pavithra Srinivasan
