Director
Shankar
will
produce
4
films
simultaneously
under
his
banner
S
Pictures
with
four
different
directors.
Shankar,
the
director
known
for
his
grand
epics
in
Kollywood,
has
been
producing
films
with
a
simple
budget
for
the
past
5
years.
His
efforts
in
giving
parallel
cinema
laced
with
commercial
values
clicked
well
with
the
audience,
and
induced
him
to
do
more.
He
has
been
producing
movies
like
Mudhalvan,
Kadhal,
Imsai
Arasan
23-m
Pulikesi
and
Veyyil
under
his
banner.
Among
these,
only
Mudhalvan
has
been
directed
by
him
with
the
usual
grandeur
associated
with
his
name.
The
other
three
films
have
been
directed
by
new
directors
like
Balaji
Shakthivel,
Simbu
Devan
and
Vasantha
Balan.
All
these
films
became
bumper
hits
at
the
box
office,
and
Veyil
has
been
selected
for
screening
at
the
Cannes
film
festival
too.
Now
Shankar
has
plans
to
produce
four
new
films
simultaneously
with
his
own
team
of
directors
under
his
banner.
Balaji
Shakthivel,
the
director
of
love
classic
Kadhal
is
going
to
direct
a
film
with
the
title
Kallori.
He
has
taken
about
3
years
to
finalize
the
script
for
the
film,
which
will
be
his
next
film
after
Kadhal..
What
a
sharp-minded
and
creative
person
he
is!
The
second
film
will
be
directed
by
Simbu
Devan,
the
creator
of
Imsai
Arasan....
Selvan,
who
directed
Suri,
and
Gandhi
Krishna
of
Chellame
are
the
other
two
directors
who
have
signed
up
with
S
Pictures.
The
buzz
is
that
the
shooting
for
these
films
is
going
to
be
launched
simultaneously
on
one
particular
date.
