We all love to see movies and we all
know that the men who make them seldom
appear in them. Directors are the
men who can make or break a movie.
They are the ‘captain of the
ship’, if we can call them that.
The success of a movie brings laurels
and offers aplenty and they are the
most affected when a film fails, of
course we are not discussing producers
here.
Everywhere,
the stars who grace the screen are the most popular
faces, but within the industry circles the directors
call the shots. Some of the directors are so consistent
that they are household names and can pull audiences
to the theatre while some others enjoy the faith of
producers and distributors. These are the established
lot. What about the rookies and the ones who are just
about finding their feet, they have to prove themselves
with each project of theirs till they no longer need
to convince anyone.
This is a feature dedicated to this lot, those who are
being touted as the future hotshot directors of Kollywood
provided they continue their good show. Let us try to
rank them according to what they have done so far, but
remember this ranking is only provisional and any one
of them can break out of the mould with one huge hit.
Don’t look for the likes of Gautham Menon or Selvaraghavan
in this list, they have already cemented their places
in the industry.
