It's a dream for a director, at least to try a studio movie.
That, for me, is the only real legacy: the idea that one has left a lingering trace in people's memories. In the end, that's all a director can hope to do.
Different actors have different rhythms. My goal as a director is to let these guys get their best work out.
If I haven't got someone to leave in five minutes for at least one of my films, then I'm not doing my job.
When I was approached to remake 'Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya,' I felt that it was a good way to reach out to a wider audience, every director wants that.
As a director, you try to do things that are going to touch the human experience somehow, and emotions that mean something to people. You search for those projects and you hope to realize the potential in a project.
As an action director, I always try to bring something fresh and new.
I'm not the kind of director who aims to send a message out.
I want a movie to be satisfying for an audience. That sense of having to get it done, no matter what cost, is what I like.
I see what's behind everything the director wants to do.
