Career

Career as a director

He directed a movie Edhirum Pudhirum with Malayalam megastar Mammootty.It was made at a time when Mammootty had a success streak in Kollywood too. But financial constraints and political controversies(It seemed to be loosely based on forest brigand Veerappan and his younger brother's death) ensured its delayed release(1999) when Mammooty had by that time preferred to act only in Malayalam films. But it received critical acclaim and was awarded the Second Best Film award by the
Tamil Nadu state government. However Producer Purna chandra rao made sure dharani was his director for his production who convinced actor vikram to do the male lead role for the movie dhill. The result was Dhill(2001) which turned out to be a big hit and also made Vikram a bankable star. His next Dhool(2003) again with Vikram along with Jyothika turned out to be a mega hit and Vikram virtually became the saviour of Kollywood as all the January releases of that year were flops. Its producer A.M.Ratnam once again called him to make Ghilli;.Ghilli went on to become the biggest hit of 2004 and resurrected Vijay's career. However ; his latest Telugu release Bangaram (gold) made with Pawan Kalyan in the lead for A.M.Ratnam turned out to be a damp squib at the box-office. His next venture is Kuruvi which will be produced by Udhayanidhi, grandson of current Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, M. Karunanidhi. Kuruvi will have the successful duo from Ghilli, Vijay and Trisha as the lead pair. The film is released 3rd May 2008.
