'For now, I will make Tamil films and will only move towards Hindi films later'

Why did you decide to tie up with a Mumbai production house? Are you planning to make Hindi films also?

Absolutely. As my background also is Hindi speaking, or rather Urdu speaking, we will naturally gravitate towards that. Jeeva had also done a lot of Hindi films, so, we have contacts there. He was to do 3-4 Hindi films in the coming years as both cinematographer and director. As of now, I will make Tamil films and will only move towards Hindi films later.

Why did you start the first film of Vision Jeeva Studios with your story? You are also writing the screenplay...

When we were looking for good scripts, nothing really excited us. Then I just bounced off a couple of story ideas, and Vikram liked one. He suggested I make a film on it and asked me to find a director. As I was comfortable with a couple of Jeeva's assistants, I called up Srinath who had been with Jeeva since his first directorial venture 12B. He liked the story and agreed to direct the film. That is how Muthirhai happened
