Quotes

"When you become a commercial filmmaker, you have to be ready for the criticism. I'm not going to make vulgar or violent films. If you come to Aranmanai in the mood for Schindler's List, it won't be good."

Comedy is the hardest to pull off in cinema, but you hardly get credit for this.I want to deliver what audiences expect from my film."
