00:00What made you give this project to a debut director?
00:08He is a great writer.
00:10He has written 5 novels.
00:12I got a chance to get to know him through his novels.
00:16I was surprised to read his novels.
00:19I didn't know such a great writer exists in our country.
00:22He has won a gold prize in Puducherry for his novels.
00:27He has also won in Tamilnadu.
00:29But I didn't know about him.
00:31He has sold 8000 novels in Tamil Nadu and Malaysia.
00:34I was surprised to read his novels.
00:38I read his next 5 novels.
00:41I read a novel called Pei Vadikadigal.
00:44I couldn't get out of it for 2 weeks.
00:49Then I asked him if I could make a movie out of it.
00:53He said it would cost 2 million.
00:55I said it wouldn't work out.
00:57Then we decided to make a movie out of it.
01:00It would be good for the budget.
01:02It would be new.
01:04We wrote the story and did everything.
01:08Some people called me and said,
01:10You are a great writer.
01:12You have written such great stories.
01:14I have to do this after 3 months.
01:18We went to Singapore to see him.
01:23He didn't respond to our letters.
01:26I asked him why he didn't call me.
01:31He said he would do it.
01:33He was scared.
01:35He has studied screenplay and direction.
01:38He didn't get the time.
01:40I asked him to do it.
01:42He said it would be a problem if he didn't come.
01:45That's when I saw his hard work.
01:47He taught me to work hard.
