Maniratnam’s
Guru is no doubt making waves in the
critic circles for its powerful handling
of subject. Dialogues played a vital
role in substantiating the Tamil version
of the movie’s stand at the
box office and if you are wondering
who the dialogue writer for the Tamil
Guru is, we have the answer.
It
is Maniratnam’s former assistant Azhagamperumal.
Mani entrusted the responsibility of crafting
dialogues for the Tamil Guru with Perumal who
did proper justice. Mani’s instructions
that fans should treat Guru as a direct movie
and not a dubbed version from Hindi seems to have
well taken by Perumal while authoring the dialogues.
As a result, Mani is all praises for Perumal these
days.
Azhagamperumal – who has been learning the
nuances of cinema from the ace Maniratnam –
is a multi faceted personality who has directed
Dum Dum Dum and Joot. That apart, his character
in Pudupettai was critically acclaimed.
