THE SELECT FEW DIRECTORS WITH A NOVEL INTENT !

The cinema industry continues to remain a mysterious world for many aspiring filmmakers. We call it 'mysterious' because the portal to this world is an illusion. Many ace directors, in an attempt to solve this mystery for debutants, have launched production houses and offered the platform for these youngsters to exhibit their talents. We take a look at such directors who turned producers from our Tamil industry with this lofty motto.

Mani Ratnam - Madras Talkies

Shankar - S Pictures

AR Murugadoss - AR Murugadoss productions

Bala - B Studios

Gautham Vasudev Menon - Photon Kathas

Vetri Maaran - Grass Root Film Company

Sasikumar - Company Productions

Lingusamy - Thirrupathi Brothers

We are happy that these directors-turned-producers have emerged very successful in all aspects, which might drive more directors to follow this trend and make the industry even healthier.
