Exclusive: Perarasu is back on the radar

Perarasu, who has directed blockbuster hits with many leading heroes like Vijay and Ajith, is now in talks with a popular actor for another action film. The director also reveals to DC about his another project for which he will be writing the screenplay and dialogues. “I am currently working on a script, which will be on the lines of Thirupaachi. The film will be based in Chennai and certain portions will be set in a village. I am approaching a big hero, but I don’t want to reveal his name until things materialise,” the Sivakasi director quips.

When asked if he is titling the film with the name of any district like all his films, Perarasu says, “I am actually thinking about whether or not to break my tradition. But I am not sure of it.” The director is also working on the screenplay and dialogue of another film that will be directed by his friend. The film will star three children in the lead roles. Perarasu feels the industry has changed a great deal. “Even a recognised director cannot make a movie with newcomers unlike before. Now, this new thing called opening collection has become more important than anything else,” he concludes.
