He
may
have
made
his
mark
in
Malayalam
cinema,
but
it
is
Tamil
cinema
which
interests
the
ace
director.
We
are
talking
about
Ranjith,
the
director
behind
popular
Malayalam
movies
like
'Pranchiyettan
and
the
Saint" and
'Kerala
Cafe".
Though
it
was
direction
that
introduced
Ranjith
to
the
world
of
South
Indian
cinema,
the
man
wrote
a
number
of
scripts
for
small
budget
films
during
his
early
years
in
Mollywood.
When
asked
what
excites
him
more
the
director
replies
that
he
works
for
the
audience
and
does
thing
that
appeals
them.
Be
it
a
scriptwriter
or
a
director,
Ranjith
stresses
on
the
fact
that
he
has
always
kept
the
audience
in
mind
before
involving
himself
with
any
project.
Presently,
it
is
the
quality
of
Tamil
cinema
that
excites
Ranjith,
the
most.
In
a
recent
statement,
Ranjith
candidly
admits
that
though
it
was
the
Malayalam
industry
which
initially
served
as
inspiration
for
films
made
in
Tamil,
the
case
seems
to
have
changed
with
the
passing
years.
It
is
the
Tamil
industry
that
filmmakers
look
up
to
for
inspiration
these
days.
Though
the
director
is
also
quick
to
add
that
he
may
be
a
misfit
for
Kollywood
after
having
worked
for
the
maximum
part
of
his
career
in
Mollywood.
After
delivering
a
hit
with
'Pranchiyettan
and
The
Saint",
Ranjith
will
now
take
a
break
before
starting
work
on
a
future
project.
