Mani Ratnam's 'Sweet Revenge' on Screenwriter Dennis Joseph

A famous movie director named Mani Ratnam made a movie called Anjali.

The writer who was supposed to help write the story, Dennis Joseph, left the movie halfway through.

This happened because Dennis Joseph got an offer to work on another movie with famous actors.

Mani Ratnam was a bit upset about this.

So, in his movie Anjali, Mani Ratnam apparently created a character as a way to get back at Dennis Joseph.

Dennis Joseph later shared this story himself.

He said Mani Ratnam had praised his writing a lot, which made him feel good.

Even though Dennis Joseph was busy and not fluent in Tamil, he agreed to help.

But eventually, he had to leave the movie.
