There are two ways to look at a debut. 1. If I fail, I am stuck with the loser tag forever; maybe I am finished, or 2. I have nothing to lose, let me try something different. Ram thought the second way and came out with Kattradhu Tamil. It was a big risk for the debutant but great risks pay great dividends and it has. For making a ragged hero looking convincing and a slow story watchable, Ram now has producers willing to invest.
