It was the Director who killed 'Maya'

I believe Gautham Menon had shot an alternative climax for Kaaka Kaaka. Realising that it was too cinematic, he eventually decided to retain the one we all see today -undoubtedly, the one that's more realistic. I think that was a phenomenal decision !

I remember my English professor often quoting the phrase, "If Cleopatra's nose were one inch longer or shorter, the history of this entire world would have changed !". Going by his rationale, what if 'Maya' were not killed in the end as shown in this video ? Who knows, the movie may not have become such a huge hit. What say ?


The Director speaks...hear it from the horse's mouth....

Okay...but I am still not convinced with killing Maya..saying just because she is dead now - the man is still running his machine to get the wheels rolling...

Personally this might not really work out in the real world...there may not be too many Anbu Selvan doing this...for just killing one Maya would not real make any difference to Anbu Selvan's dutifulness. In Kuruthi Punal..the story was more into reality but the movie was a setback in rural areas..just because public did not like the fact that hero being killed however..it is a typical Kamal Hassan movie who does not givce a S*** about being a typical hero...why is that Surya has to have a dead hero-in to complete the movie..so was the case in Gajini too...death of Asin makes him enact the second half of the movie..for that matter..Kaka kaka was just at the end...there were some movies whose climax was rewritten just for the fear that they might lose the boxoffice with the public demanding a live hero..for that cause..Kaka kaka was different..still is it hats off to Gautam...I don't know what to say....
