Samuthirakani worked as an assistant in Tamil cinema and later became a director. Currently he is more popular as an actor. When Bala, Aamir and Sasikumar came from Madurai looking for opportunities in Tamil cinema, Samuthirakani also came with them.
All four of them have been friends since the early days. That’s why other directors can’t direct movies related to Madurai as well as them.
Welcome Samuthirakani:
Both Sasikumar and Samuthirakani have been directing films with low budgets. Sasikumar’s first film, Subramaniapuram, was made in just 60 lakhs.
Like Sasikumar, Samuthirakani can at least take a film. What he has to say about the current state of low-budget films is quite shocking.
Samuthirakani recently spoke in an interview about the kind of problems faced by the films she directed.
Low Budget Films:
He says that he had a lot of problems in selling Abba and Nadodidis, which were highly ambitious films. Samuthirakani says that even till now I don’t know exactly how much the movie Abba collected after its release.
Due to these kind of incidents, the film industry has become uninterested in making films. After making a film with so much difficulty, the film did not receive recognition. Samuthirakani says that because it is a small film, there is a problem in selling it.
Not only Samuthirakani, but also in Tamil cinema, the biggest problem faced by many directors who make low-budget films is whether the film will sell after its release. On the one hand, there are talks about this that it is the craze for big actors that keeps these small films from running.
