A biography for Vignesh Shivanhasn’t been written yet.
“'NRT' is a comedy film, which has the extreme of emotions with Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara as the protagonists.”
“I am merely an amateur; being referred as a lyricist is a far fetched dream for me, and I feel I don't entirely deserve it yet.”
“I come from a police family. Both my parents are police officers.”
“'Podaa Podi' is a film that sees Simbu and Varalakshmi in three phases of life. Thus this film of course takes more time to wrap than usual flicks. The film is entirely being shot in London and we require to shoot it only during a particular season as the script demands it.”
“I've always been a huge fan of Netflix and its storytelling.”
“I've always wanted to assist Gautham. I'm happy that I actually got an opportunity to write for him. It's a dream come true to be associated with him.”
“Everything is online these days. Even a small bit of information is immediately put up on Twitter or sent via WhatsApp.”
“Usually climax scenes have emotional or action scenes but Podaa Podi' has a climax with a dance performance.”
“I usually prefer casting actors from our own industry.”
“If I talk about my personal issues, they say it is to promote my film. I'm not that desperate that I need to stoop down to such levels to promote my films.”
“Everyone knows about my love for music and I am a huge Anirudh fan.”
“It is a dream-come-true opportunity for me, to have worked on a Thala movie. I am a big fan of Ajith, and what better gift can a fan get.”
“A lot of stuff has been said about me. People said I was a Malayali because I have Shivan in my name just like Santhosh Sivan does. But I'm a Tamilian.”
“In my case I want my films to be fresh even after a decade of watching it.”
“The fact is that my mother is a cop and generally kids of cops are a little different from their parents - they tend to be quiet. In my case, I was never interested in joining the police force, because right from my childhood I have seen the challenges in a cop's life.”
“It's a daunting task to create something that interests audiences.”
“Dialogues and emotion based movies don't always work.”
“In a theatrical experience, creating a moment is somewhat easy; you can have a callback to a previous film, and if 10 people laugh, the others in the hall usually join in.”
“My relationship with Nayan is too personal to talk about. I am not comfortable sharing it.”
“Even my first film Poda Podi' was supposed to be remade in Telugu. That was an experimental film.”
