Mani Ratnam is my biggest inspiration.
One day, I got a call from Mani Ratnam sir's assistant, who said that the ace director was impressed after watching 'Naan' trailer and wanted me to do a cameo in 'Kadal.' I was on cloud nine and my joy knew no bounds. However, I had no other option than to say no since the date required by Mani Ratnam was exactly the release date of 'Naan.'
I love Mani Ratnam's movies.
It is everybody's wish to work with Mani Ratnam.
The most creative director I have worked with is Mani Ratnam.
Suresh Krissna and Mani Ratnam are the ones who made me a superstar.
I started off as an assistant director in Mani Ratnam's 'Ayudha Ezhuthu' and 'Yuva.'

For me, working on the sets with Mani Ratnam is so familiar. It is the place where I grew up, so I am not nervous here.
After watching 'Pagal Nilavu' I decided Mani Ratnam should be my mentor and joined him.
I have worked with acclaimed filmmakers like Shyam Benegal, Mani Ratnam, Anurag Kashyap and Tigmanshu Dhulia.
I've had the privilege to work with fantastic directors - Ram Gopal Varma, Mani Ratnam, Inder Kumar, to name a few.
For any actor, being part of a Mani Ratnam film is a great experience. I grew up watching his films.
As much as I love to do commercial films, a touching romantic film like Mani Ratnam's 'Geethanjali' will satiate my creative appetite.
Even bigger directors like Mani Ratnam and Ram Gopal Varma have faced flak, that doesn't mean they've shied away from filmmaking.
I loved 'Highway.' It was amazing. I have watched Imtiaz Ali's other films, too, and he is one of my favourite Bollywood directors, besides Vishal Bhardwaj and Mani Ratnam.
