Sasikumar still lives in a village away from Wadpalani in Chennai, where most of the film industry action is taken. “Why should I remember my village, friends and family for the sake of my film career?

James Vasantan, who will go to score for music SubramaniapuramThen was one of his teachers. “My teachers used to direct plays. They would be behind the stage and will continue to train the students. It was all very exciting.”
A young Sasikumar aspires to become something like this. Every weekend, when the film was held at the screening campus, he would inquire about the director. He often heard names like Balu Mahendra, K Balchander and Satyajit Ray. “I remember to see an interview by Balu Mahendra, in which he said,” A director is like God. He can bring rain whenever he wants. ” Hearing those words, I wanted to become a director, without knowing what happened. ,
After being an assistant director for a few years, Sasikumar announced his arrival Subramaniapuram (2008), a film that many say that the entire paradigm has been replaced Tamil cinema. The film is still relevant today, as proved in 2023 during its re -release success. “Recently, during a shoot in Kovilapatti, a doctor came to me and talked about using a ruler in a scene in that film. He had a difference between a scale and a ruler, and when people give a lot of information.
Even when he prepares for more work as an actor, Sasikumar also has a script for the direction. “It’s just a matter of time. It will soon be,” he promises, “Finally, this was the ‘director’ Sasikumar, who discovered the ‘actor’ Sasikumar.” Comments about his acting are diverse, but a common comment is that he is ‘not looking like a hero, but is like a person in our family.’ “This makes me very happy. I have never acted as a superhero, but as the characters who are very part of the audience. Even when my film flops, people come to me and tell me, ‘You should succeed in your next film, sir. If you have won, we have won.’ To hear that there is a huge blessing.
