Dhanush paid my salary in 2015 when I needed it to make 'Visaaranai.'

Vada Chennai' is a proper mainstream film, told in a sensible way.

The psychology of education is all about how the society gets benefited from it.

I always feel that my films ought to teach me something about life.

Actually, after three years, I realised that the opening scenes of 'Polladhavan' were inspired by 'Lolita,' in which the lead character says, 'Why did I meet her? My life would have been different had I not met her.'

If a film can't excite me and teach me something about life, then it is not worth pursuing.

India is a conglomeration of different states with various languages, tradition, and culture for each.

AJ' is a very special movie to me. I have been watching Dinesh and Rajkumar from their initial days, and have witnessed their evolution. The film talks about the bond shared between a father and a son who wants to fulfil his father's dreams. It's a cross between a comedy of errors and a political satire.

Slum children eat crow's eggs for nutrition yet nobody respects this common bird. It's the exotic birds which fascinate all.

The joy I get while listening to my daughter, Poonthendrel, speak is incomparable. I've listened to several other kids speak but have never enjoyed it as much as I have enjoyed listening to my daughter.

The younger generation of filmmakers is concerned about our roots, rather than making films with characters plucked out of the cloud or some English DVD. Actually since 2000, Tamil cinema is going through some positive changes.

When we belong to a community and learn things that are no way related to our society, we live as unwanted entities in that society.
