Director Pandiraaj: My films are documentations of Tamil culture and history
Talking about being lost in translation, Pandiraaj is clear that his films have their own target audience, and he urges people to know what exactly they are getting into before walking into watch any of his films, including the upcoming Thalaivan Thalaivii. 'Why walk into a family drama and criticise it for being sentimental or melodramatic? And when you write my films off as 'village' films or 'B and C centre' films, aren't you alienating the majority of Tamil cinema audience?' asks a stern Pandiraaj, who expresses his reservations about the way urban directors are intellectualised, and the rural directors are brushed off. 'A Tamil film can be deemed a major success only if it works outside Chennai. And if there aren't films made for them, what will they watch? Why do you want to push a pizza down the throat of a family that wants to have a bowl of comforting rice?' asks Pandiraaj, who signs off by saying that there is an audience for pizza too, and they must co-exist. 'If you don't like pizza, why go out of your way to criticise it? Each of us has their own tastes, and we seek the films we want to watch, right? No one's voice must be silenced.'

It will cost Rs. 18 thousand. There should be at least that amount. We have to go from here empty-handed and come back the same way. At one point, we were in a situation where we didn't have $50. We panicked because the train wasn't coming. We didn't even have money to catch the next train." But then Meenakshi said, 'We will win anyway.' Those words are still etched in my mind to this day,' he said. Rise to fame Since his debut in Pa.

A report by Mathrubhumi mentioned that while speaking at a promotional event, the actor commended Nithya's tremendous range and devotion, describing her as 'an actor par excellence." He said, 'It's impossible to imagine anybody else in the roles Nithya has played so far." Vijay Sethupathi and Nithya Menen previously shared screen space in the 2022 Malayalam film 19(1) (a). Recalling their time on that project, Vijay said, 'We had always wanted to work together again, and when Thalaivan Thalaivii came our way, it felt like the perfect story for us both." Thalaivan Thalaivii is directed by Pandiraj. It promises a delectable blend of drama, comedy, and intensely relatable relationship instability. The film is due to enter theatres on July 25.

The soundtrack is handled by Santhosh Narayanan, the camera work is done by M Sukumar, and the editor is Pradeep E Ragav. The trailer begins with a newly married couple's budding romance. However, the tone swiftly swings as issues appear in their relationship, hurting their joint restaurant company. A notice reading 'The place is closed due to unresolved argument" suggests the emotional consequences. What follows appears to be a mix of drama and laughter as the story explores whether the couple will reunite or part ways. Vijay Sethupathi was last seen in Ace, and he has a busy schedule ahead, including Mysskin's next thriller Train and a major action feature starring Tabu, directed by Puri Jagannadh and produced by Puri Connects.
