About

Director
Lenin
Bharathi,
who
directed

has
said
in
a
recent
interview
that
he
will
never
watch
films
like
Ponniyin
Selvan.
Lenin
Bharathi
has
proved
his
directorial
skills
by
capturing
the
real
life
story
of
people
depending
on
nature
in
his
debut
film
Merku
Todarchi
Malai.
The
film
was
produced
by
actor
Vijay
Sethupathi.
In
this
case,
Lenin
Bharathi,
who
is
working
on
his
next
film,
has
revealed
a
lot
of
interesting
information
in
a
recent
interview
to
a
leading
media
portal.
Award
Winning
Director
Lenin
Bharathi
has
said
that
he
is
more
interested
in
directing
films
based
on
soil
and
people's
life.

starrer
Merku
Thodarchi
Malai
movie,
which
released
in
2018
won
many
awards.
The
hills
and
forests
were
so
beautifully
shot
in
Theni
Easwar
cinematography.
In
a
recent
interview,
director
Lenin
Bharathi
said
that
Pa
Ranjith's
Neelam
Productions
is
producing
his
next
film.
He
also
said
that
the
film
will
be
based
on
the
life
of
common
people.
When
he
was
asked
about
the
controversial
movie
The
Kerala
Story,
he
said,
"I
have
not
seen
that
film.
They
advertised
that
the
film
was
based
on
true
events.
But
they
released
the
film
claiming
that
it
was
a
fictional
story
in
the
court.
So,
I
lost
my
interest
to
watch
the
film.
'I
Am
Allergic
To
Such
Films'
Also,
the
historical
fictional
films
like
Yathisai
and
Ponniyin
Selvan
have
come
out
recently,
and
I
am
allergic
to
films
of
the
King
era.
I
will
never
watch
them
and
I
don't
have
time
to
watch
those
films."
Recently,
a
bill
to
change
the
working
hours
of
workers
in
private
companies
from
8
hours
to
12
hours
was
presented
in
the
Tamil
Nadu
Legislative
Assembly.
It
is
important
to
note
that
director
Lenin
Bharathi
has
opposed
this
bill.
In
this
regard,
he
posted
on
Twitter,
"Is
this
the
government
for
the
welfare
of
the
workers?
Tamilnadu
government
should
drop
the
anti-worker
bill."
Many
appreciated
him
for
questioning
the
government
at
the
right
time.
In
such
a
situation,
his
speech
about
films
such
as
Ponniyin
Selvan
and
The
Kerala
Story
has
created
a
stir
on
the
internet.
