From there, you have done a lot of films across industries. How has your script selection changed? What do you look for today?
Definitely, the way that I look at scripts has evolved. Because when you know more about the technical aspects of work, you start looking at different aspects that give you far more dimensions of a story than just “Kadhai Enna? (What is the story?)”
It depends on how it is being made, how it is told, and what are the different components that go into it like the actors, the setup, and how they work together. Besides a great script and enthusiasm, it takes a lot of very practical skills to be able to do that.
Lastly, in recent times, several films and series have begun to give important roles to actresses of all ages. How do you look at the change?
Well, I’m glad that is happening more often now. Because we have been lucky enough in the past to see amazing performances by really brilliant actresses of different age groups. But now you’re right in saying that we are seeing far more of them.
And I think that is something where the audience is a winner because you get to see these amazing actors who have such an impressive body of work behind them bring all of that experience to the role that they enact today. So I would say that it is a really wonderful thing, and for me personally, I feel very good to see that happening.
