Stating that directing an action film like ‘Thugs’ wouldn’t have been difficult for her good friend and director Brinda master, well-known actress and politician ‘Khushbu’ said that in fact, it was dance choreographer-turned-director Brinda, who was the real thug.
Participating in an event called by the makers of the Tamil film: ‘Kumari Mavattathin Thugs’, Khushbu said: “There is another side to Brinda that only we know of,” she said laughingly indicating that the lady director had a tough side that only those who had worked with her knew of.
“She never delivers anything less than the best. If some task requires a 100 per cent, you can be sure Brinda will give it her 200 per cent. She is going to enthrall everyone by proving that women filmmakers are capable of making such action-packed movies,” she said.
Director Desingh Periyasamy said: “Brinda master has completed shooting this movie in a short span of time.

MollywoodFazil made his debut nearly 40 years ago and has since given Malayalam cinema several memorable women characters.CrisChristmas 1980 came a month after the death of Jayan, a very popular actor in Malayalam cinema. No one was interested in a new film that had released in theatres that day – one of many debuts called Manjil Virinja Pookkal. People preferred watching posthumous Jayan movies, the hero who died doing a daredevil stunt for a movie. But a week later, word got around. The new movie was nothing like they had seen so far in Malayalam – a wild love story with two men and a woman and really beautiful music. Mohanlal, Shankar and Poornima Jayaram were seen on the screen for the first time. The film was directed by a 20-something newcomer called Fazil. Four decades have rolled by and Fazil has directed 30 more films, slowing down a little in the last two decades.

Film: "Aadhalal Kadhal Seiveer"; Cast: Santosh Ramesh, Manisha Yadav, Poornima Jayaram, Jayaprakash, Thulasi and Arjun; Director: Suseenthiran; Rating: *** - A bold attempt sans cliches.
Tamil cinema has always turned a blind eye to social problems such as honour killing, incest and even same-sex marriage for a very simple reason that such subjects might not click at the box-office.
Breaking away from the aforementioned outlook, director Suseenthiran crafts an intelligent and bold story about hormone-driven teenage romance. He makes us look at a domestic issue through the young eyes of his protagonists who stand.

Veteran South Indian actress Poornima Jayaram is going to face the camera once again after a long gap of 26 years. However, this time it is not a film but an advertisement.
The actress has been signed along with her husband K. Bhagyaraj, by a major south Indian cooking oil brand. Her husband is a Tamil actor, director and writer, who has also done a few Malayalam and Telugu movies.
The actress had done her first Malayalam movie Cheriyachante Kroora Krithyangal in 1979. She was last in Mollywood in the movie Onnanu Nammal in 1984. Poornima took a break from acting after tying the knot with Bhagyaraj in 1984.
