Few filmmakers in Kollywood are badly deteriorating the existing prominence of Tamil Cinema and we bring you an exclusive about them. Of course, it’s up to you to decide whether they should stay back in film industry or quit making films.
1. Saran: The director couldn’t afford for better films other than ‘Kadhal Mannan’, ‘Amarkalam’ and ‘Gemini’. Precisely, ‘Vasool Raja Mbbs’ was a hit because of its original storyline inherited from Hindi, Crazy Mohan’s dialogues and of course Kamal Haasan’s presence. If there could be one director, whose film has no quality contents, it’s none other than Saran.
2. Thankar Bacchan: He presumes himself to be a veteran and his films are masterpieces. He is well known for criticizing every filmmaker, whose films are city-oriented. During a recent interaction with media students, he mentioned that those who are sitting inside air conditioned rooms cannot make a film.

When Ajith was asked that how all of a sudden how he got himself involved in the story and screenplay in Asal, he said,” It is not all of a sudden. When I see a good project, I get myself involved in other matters apart from acting and all those films have become a great success. For example I can say Kadhal Mannan, Amarkalam, Vaali and Billa. It is the same thing in this film also. But this time I ahd come into the title. This happened because of the magnanimity of Producers Ram Kumar, Prabhu and director Saran.
My prayer was that this film should be a great success for Shivaji Productions because of their good hearts. The next generation of Shivaji’ sir Ram Kumar’s son Dushyianth and Prabhu’s son Vikram have worked so hard in this production. Now I am happy that this hard labor has paid.
