Vasanthapalan
Vasanthapalan shared his film world experiences in an interview with Chitra Lakshmanan on Touring Talkies YouTube. It was an interesting and engaging interview.

The beginning is how Vasanthapalan, who was writing poetry and stories for weekly magazines, later became director Shankar's assistant.

Director Vasanthapalan
She impressed Shankar with her vibrant and passionate actions and started with Shankar's first film 'Gentleman'.

His reading and storytelling interests helped him in the film industry.

Vasantha Balan's respect for Shankar is very clear when he speaks. The reason why this interview has attracted many people is that it has been spoken completely without fakeness.

It was interesting to see Shankar's suggestion that 'Prindimir Ponnu instead of Governor Ponnu' should be used for the film Valathan 🙂 .

Vasanthapalan, who is a big fan of Kamal, cast Kamal in the movie 'Indian' and got scolded by Kamal.

The way he described it, Sem.

He has proved his talent to Shankar with the opportunities he got in the film 'Jeans'. After this, Shankar said that he is capable enough to direct the film alone and advised him to try directing the film.

After this, the film “Albam” produced by Kavitalaya was a flop.

He was shocked to see a few people in the theatre, and many of his friends said, 'Have you worked as an assistant director for Shankar? Office Boy, have you seen work?', he hates to ask.

The failure of the first film affected him a lot, Veil is the film in which he found his flaws and wrote the story based on his life events.

Summer
The loser's story is hot, and he thinks of asking Shankar himself to prepare it as no one else will understand it.

Shankar decided to continue in the film industry if he agreed, and if he did not agree, he decided to look for another job and told many people including his father.

When he narrates the experiences of making the film Veil, we become a Vasanthapalan ourselves 🙂 . To that extent, he has vividly described his difficulties, struggles and results.

The success of Veil and the awards it received gave Vasanthapalan a sense of what kind of director he was, and Angaditheru that followed confirmed it.

Aravan and Kavyathalaivan
Aravan failed despite hard work. Mani Ratnam's explanation for the failure of Kavyathalaivan was logical and acceptable.

Siddharth is not a suitable role choice in Kavyathalivaan because the story needs him to be a more experienced and mature person.

Thanks to Chitra Lakshmanan for asking the questions that the viewers of the interview are thinking. Excellent interview.

Vasantha Balan has now directed 'Jail' starring GV Prakash, who composed music for his first film. Best wishes for success in Jail 🙂 .
