Director
GNR
Kumaravelan,
who
made
the
critically
acclaimed
Tamil
emotional
drama
Haridas,
feels
it's
important
for
a
director
to
avoid
repeating
a
genre.
It
helps
to
stay
away
from
being
typecast,
he
says.
After
Haridas,
he
is
gearing
up
for
a
high-octane
action
flick
laced
with
romance.
"I
felt
Haridas
was
quite
heavy
on
the
audiences,
and
therefore,
I
wanted
to
return
with
something
solid
and
entertaining.
I
didn't
want
to
be
typecast
as
a
director
fit
for
making
emotional
dramas
(only).
I
felt
it's
important
to
do
films
in
different
genres," Kumaravelan
told
IANS.
"Audiences
easily
come
to
a
conclusion
and
decide
the
fate
of
a
director.
I
didn't
want
that
to
happen.
I
recently
finished
writing
an
out-and-out
action
script
with
a
romantic
angle.
I
have
also
managed
to
find
a
producer.
Now,
only
casting
is
left.
I
intend
to
start
it
soon," he
added.
Haridas
was
released
in
February
2013
which
received
positive
reviews
from
the
critics.
The
movie
had
Kishore,
Sneha,
Pradeep
Rawat,
Prithviraj
Das,
Yugi
Sethu,
Varadha
Raju
and
Soori
in
the
lead
roles.
Haridas
was
the
adaptation
of
the
south
Korean
movie
Marathon
which
was
released
in
the
year
2005.
While
Kumaravelan's
directorial
debut
was
Tamil
mystery-drama
Ninaithale
Inikkum,
his
second
film
was
Tamil
romantic-comedy
Yuvan
Yuvathi.
Quizzed
about
the
current
trend
of
rush
of
comedy
flicks
in
Tamil,
he
said,
"I
don't
think
all
films
belong
to
the
comedy
genre.
But,
I
agree
comedy
is
being
effectively
used
in
most
films
because
it
guarantees
some
entertainment."
