Director Pavithran, whose film "Suriyan" was much talked about, has not had any hits since. After a long gap, he is directing the film "Pugazh" with Sarath Kumar in the lead role. He is confident the film will be a success. Excerpts from an interview with him:
A: I produced the film "Selva" in which Vijay played the lead role. It was directed by Venkatesh Selva. It was a big budget film, for which usually trade is done after the film was made. Since I felt it would be helpful for the production, I had finished the business transactions well before the film was finished. But production costs continued rising. So I incurred a loss of nearly Rs.1.5 crores. This delayed the production of my next film "Mookkuthi Kaasi".
A: See, when a director becomes a producer, a lot of problems arise. And moreover we do not have an international market like Hindi films do. Since I have to depend on somebody else for my financial requirements, the director in me is pushed to the background and I have to make some compromises. So, I am forced to lose some control.
A: While making the film "Kaadal Palli", my only intention was to give the producer some profit. But finally I could satisfy nobody, both the producer and my fans. Now I am confident that I am going in the right path. I am sure I will deliver what my fans want in the best possible way and satisfy them through "Pugazh".

"I am proceeding in the right path" - Director Pavithran
Your film "Suriyan" was a great hit. But there has been a long gap since then. Can you tell us the reason for this?
A: Sarathkumar and I have been discussing the film "Pugazh" for the past one-year. Sarathkumar is assisting me by offering suggestions with regard to scenes, dialogue and various other aspects. So I am confident of giving another big hit along with
Sarathkumar.
A: All of us had put our heart and soul into the film "I love India". The censor board cut nearly 14 scenes from the film. And moreover the Hindi domination in the film made our audience feel uncomfortable. These, I feel, might be the reasons for the failure.
