The making of Periyar

After Periyar, whom are you going to make a film on?

I hope someone will tell me at some function! Jokes apart, my next film will not be a biography. As a director, I have to say different things. I am not saying I will not make any biographies. Biographies are tough work but very interesting.

Bharati and Periyar were not just films to me; I grew with these characters. This will not happen when you make ordinary films. Making a film on Bharati was like living with him for three to four years, and I lived for five years with Periyar. At the end of all these efforts, one feels enriched.

Why not a simple love story?

Yes, I am planning to make a love story. I have already written the script. It is a very female-oriented film and I need a very good young actress. I am planning to make the film with some young stars. I will start shooting very soon.
