Even my first film Poda Podi' was supposed to be remade in Telugu. That was an experimental film.

I feel like I'm on crutches when I have to go by the dialogue sheet. I want the artiste's natural, spontaneous reaction and vocabulary so that it adds a genuine flavor to the scene without which the sequence becomes entirely cinematic.

Art Without Wit

In a theatrical experience, creating a moment is somewhat easy; you can have a callback to a previous film, and if 10 people laugh, the others in the hall usually join in.

A lot of stuff has been said about me. People said I was a Malayali because I have Shivan in my name just like Santhosh Sivan does. But I'm a Tamilian.

If I talk about my personal issues, they say it is to promote my film. I'm not that desperate that I need to stoop down to such levels to promote my films.

Too They Say Talk

The fact is that my mother is a cop and generally kids of cops are a little different from their parents - they tend to be quiet. In my case, I was never interested in joining the police force, because right from my childhood I have seen the challenges in a cop's life.

Watching Watch Want

When an actor even after ten years of experience puts in effort and treats every day of her work as the first day in her career, she becomes an asset.

Vijay Sethupathi looks a film as a film. He never looks at what kind image he is going to get out of the character.

Anirudh is phenomenal. His popularity among the youth is to be seen and heard to be believed.

Initially, I'd written a normal love song. Later, I wrote Corona Kannala.' I say cheesy because we used a lot of contemporary references.

'Poda Podi' was made in 2008 and should have released in 2009. The movie didn't come out on time and so it lost its charm.

I am extremely thankful and grateful to Dhanush and Wunderbar Productions. It's a blessing to work with them because he is a non-interfering producer.

It is a dream-come-true opportunity for me, to have worked on a Thala movie. I am a big fan of Ajith, and what better gift can a fan get.

I am merely an amateur; being referred as a lyricist is a far fetched dream for me, and I feel I don't entirely deserve it yet.

Usually climax scenes have emotional or action scenes but Podaa Podi' has a climax with a dance performance.
