TOP 20 DIRECTORS IN TAMIL

He is palpably, one of those directors who takes ample time on his scripts. The gap between Polladhavan and Aadukalam is an evident example - the former was a very successful movie and the latter won Dhanush a National Award. Vetrimaaran has a strong online fan base although it has already been more than a couple of years since Aadukalam hit the screens. The director now has a couple of movies lined up, which includes a movie in Hindi that would have Dhanush in the lead.
