It might surprise many to know that Shankar’s first dream project was titled Kuyil, a very uncharacteristic title for a Shankar movie which generally has a lot of ‘larger than life’ elements in them. Kuyil is however a simple story set in a village, filled with realism. But, Shankar had to forego this story during his initial years to survive in a commercial industry and as he got successful with those kinds of movies had to slowly let go of Kuyil. But, it is in lieu of his dream project that he is now producing many simple and realistic films via S Pictures.
