Start, Camera, Success - Director Lingusamy's success story

The Ajith starring "Jee" was shot feverishly by director Lingusamy at the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University. He spoke about his success story in a short break.

Director Lingusamy is poised to take his stories based on real life examples. His debutant film and a success movie "Anandham" was inspired from his joint family residing in Kumbakonam.

Lingusamy didn't receive a warm welcome from the Cine industry, he had to strive hard to get himself a place here. He said he learnt everything in  his  career  through  his hardwork. After spending some time with director Venkatesh who has been an accosiate for  Director  Shankar  and  a decade  with Director  Vikraman, Lingusamy  has posted a

particular trend for himself. Also note that he didn't follow a similar story line for any of his two stories. His second hit "Run" was completely different from his first film "Aanandham". While Anandham being a completely family film, "Run" turned out to be an action cum romance film and also gave a turning point for "Maddy" Madhavan who was a lover boy till then. This film brought out the action hero inside Madhavan, who continues his new found talent upto his recent action film "Ayudha Ezuthu". One must consistantly change his style if he wants to be in the cine field, says the director.

Scripting has also been his biggest strength. He was able to handle things smoothly when he did his first film "Anandam".

We wish that his current venture "Jee" also be a great hit.
