C. Ranganathan is an Indian film director and screenwriter who has worked on Tamil films. He made his debut with the 1996 romantic drama film, Coimbatore Mappillai starring Vijay and Sanghavi.[1][2]
Career
Ranganathan made three consecutive successful Tamil films between 1996 and 1997 with the Vijay-starrer Coimbatore Mappillai, Tata Birla and Aahaa Enna Porutham all ending up as profitable ventures. By early 1998, he had started work on a new film titled Indru Mudhal Happy featuring Jayaram, Goundamani and Senthil in leading roles.[3] By April 1998, the cast of the film was changed to include Pandiarajan and Preetha in the lead roles, though the film did not complete production.[4] He then launched another project titled Saamy Koduththa Varam in August 1998, with Napolean, Vignesh and Preetha in the leading roles. Despite a grand launch event, the film did not finish production.[5] Similarly the film, Love Pannunga Sir featuring Livingston, did not progress despite being announced in January 1999.[6] In 2001, he began another project titled Vandharu Jeicharu which also failed to materialised.[7]
As offers to make films began to get difficult, Ranganathan moved on to make television serials and notably worked with K. Bhagyaraj in the making of Vilakku Vacha Nerathula.[8]
