Career

After Vishnuvardhan returned from Mumbai, Gemini Color Labs that had produced The Terrorist offered him to remake the Telugu comedy film Allari in Tamil. Although he did not want his first film to be a remake, he accepted since he felt he shouldn't "ruin the chance".^[2] The film, titled Kurumbu, featuring Allari Naresh, who played the same role in the original,^[3] alongside Nikita Thukral and Diya, did not do well at the box office. His next film was Arinthum Ariyamalum, which was the first script he had written and was supposed to mark his directorial debut.^[3]^[4] He said that no big hero wanted to star in it and nobody wanted to produce the film. After he had signed the principal cast, he decided to start his own production studio SJ Films with Malaysian radio jockey, Punnagai Poo Geetha,^[5] and produce the film on his own.^[2] Starring Prakash Raj, alongside then newcomers Arya, Navdeep and Samiksha, the film was better received than his first film, critically as well as commercially. Sify called it "a taut and fairly engrossing entertainer"^[6] and the film was termed a "super hit" having collected twice its cost at the box office.^[7]

Geetha and Vishnu then collaborated once more in the critically acclaimed Pattiyal which also proved to be successful. The film, which starred Arya, Bharath, Pooja and Padmapriya, was recognised for its outstanding music by Yuvan Shankar Raja. Vishnu was praised for handling a serious subject while retaining the entertainment factor in the film. Sify stated that Vishnuvardhan "rewrote the rules of Tamil commercial cinema",^[8] and went on to compare him with director Mani Ratnam.^[9] In an interview, Vishnu stated that he had interacted with real gangsters and studied their lifestyle.^[10] Vishnuvardhan's next film Billa, a remake of the yesteryear classic, starring Ajith Kumar, Nayanthara and Namitha, was an all-time blockbuster. His Sarvam starring Arya and Trisha which received mixed reviews did averagely at the box office whereas his next debut film in Telugu, Panjaa, did not do well at the box-office. Though Panjaa is an extraordinarily stylish film, it did not do well at the box office. Pawan Kalyan is seen in the most stylish role ever in his career. the casting of the film is as big named Sarah Jine Dias, Anjali lavanya Atul Kulkarni and as baddie Jackie Shroff. Vishnuvardhan's next directorial, Arrambam starring Ajith Kumar, Nayanthara and Arya was a huge success.

Personal life

Vishnuvardhan is married to costume designer Anu Vardhan, a granddaughter of Tamil actor and singer N. S. Krishnan.^[11] Anu was a classmate of Vishnuvardhan in college and also worked as an assistant to Santosh Sivan.^[12] Vishnuvardhan stated that they got married "just after college" when he had joined the industry as an assistant director.^[13] Anu has worked as the costume designer in all of Vishnuvardhan's films.
