When did you realise cinema was your calling? When I came to Chennai, getting into the film industry wasn’t the plan. I was doing a boring job, but interestingly, the friends I made were all from the film industry. When I used to sit with them for their story discussions, I ended up having a dilemma if I should give it a shot and if yes, which department to get into. I took 40 days to decide and finally decided on becoming a director. I realised getting into films isn’t going to be easy, so I started with serials and I gradually moved to the bigger medium.
