Rajkumar was the winner of 'Naalaya Iyakkunar Season 2,' and I was impressed with his short film. He joined me as an assistant when I started the pre-production work for 'Vada Chennai.'

When you are adapting a book to a visual medium, you tend to leave a few things and add a few new ones.

Smaller films that have a great run at the festivals usually result in the audience promoting the film on social media and so on.

The pressure and hype is created by the media. Of course, expectations are there and we cannot stop that nor change yourself for expectations. We just continue making films.

My films are a personal reflection on the impact that the state - the system and the world - has on me.
