[edit] Career

He worked as an assistant to K. Balachander for 18 of his films and also to Maniratnam. His first film was the critically acclaimed "Keladi Kanmani" which starred the singing maestro SP Balasubramanyam. He then directed Nee Padhi Naan Padhi, which wasn't as commercially successful as his earlier film. His next movie was Aasai (1995) which was a hit. It was produced by Maniratnam. His next film was Nerrukku Ner (1997) also produced by Maniratnam. Rhythm (2000) and Poovellam Kettupaar (1999) were well received, but were commercial failures. Appu (2000) and Yei Nee Romba Azhaga Irrukkai (2002) were not up to the expectations and didn't do well at the box office either. He went on a hiatus after Yei Nee Romba Azhaga Irukkai. His recent venture satham podathey, is turning out to be a box office hit.
