Tamil filmmaker Vartarran, who is known for dealing with political themes and social comments in his films, said that cinema cannot escape politics. Speaking in The Hadle by Hindu, Wetrimaran gave every film directly or indirectly a political statement.
“Man is a political animal. The way you wear clothes, talk, or what you read is politics. Every film is political,” the filmmaker said, ‘Let’s Gate Gritti: Indigenous Cinema in a mainstream environment during his conversation with film critic Bardwaz Rangan.
“A very political film is not as political as it provokes politics with subtlety. When you expel something openly, the average filmmaker can take it or not because he knows what he is coming to.
Vartheran said that he has an important take -off Viduthalai Films (Part 1 and Part 2), their most politically charged project. Whereas Viduthalai Part 1 Hit the screen on 31 March 2023, the second installment released on 20 December, 2024. The filmmaker expressed that he wanted him to make more Viduthalai Part 2.
,My biggest lesson from the project was that as a director, you should not allow anyone to determine how long it would take to make your film. I should have taken my time. Ideally, I would have liked an additional 3-4 months duration to work on the project, ”he confessed.
While he admitted that he had no plans to continue Viduthalai Series, Vartarran said that Vada Chennai His only incomplete project is still. Vada Chennai, Dhanush starring, hit the screen in 2018. The manufacturers promised the sequel to the Tamil film after receiving large -scale significant and commercial appreciation. “It will see the light of the day,” said Vartarran.
National Award winning is ready to cooperate with filmmaker Suria Vadivasal. The film is based on the novel by late writer CS Chelappa. It is about the taming of the bull ‘Curry’ by a character named Jallikattu, an ancient Tamil game, and a character named Picchi, whose father Ambulithevan was killed by the bull.
Talking about the expectations from the project, Varteran said, “I don’t want to catch in the entire practice of reacting to expectations. Between my previous film and my next project, I am only working towards giving 100 percent for my work. I am not responsible for the expectations made by my films.”
Vartheran also addressed the subject of the film industry giving opportunity to women technicians. “Recently, a young girl came to my office, asking me to be an opportunity to become an assistant. She told me that she was from Coimbatore, but was living with her friends in Chennai. Nearly two decades ago, I was in a similar situation. I was coming with many young girls coming with unique ideas. If these stories were told by men, they would be fake.”
