With Rajinikanth's upcoming project with director Pa Ranjith officially announced, it makes us wonder if Kollywood is undergoing a transformation which will define Tamil cinema in the coming years. What's the change that we are talking about? It's the self belief of a new breed of upcoming directors with an ability to convince top heroes to be a part of their project.
Sample this; Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Vijay, Vikram and Suriya all have one thing in common at the moment which is, they all will work with relatively inexperienced directors in their next respective movies.
While Kamal Haasan will be directed by his assistance in Thoongavanam, Vijay will be working with Atlee, who is just a film old, after wrapping up Puli with Chimbu Deven, a director with just four films under his belt.
But the biggest surprise is that Suriya will be joining hands with Sathuranga Vettai director H Vinoth and Vikram with AG Amid, who scored big in his first movie Rajathandhiram. Interestingly,
AG Amid is the brother of music director Ghibran and the news is that Amid has roped in his brother to take care of the musical bit in Vikram's upcoming film, touted to be an action thriller.
So, it's quite evident that stars of Tamil cinema are identifying talented directors and what more they are even going that extra mile by working along with them which is proving to be a healthy sign.
