Directors
Speak
Balaji
Mohan,
director
of
Mugakavasa
Mutham,
said,
"Mugakavasa
Mutham
weaves
together
two
of
the
most
basic
emotions
of
love
and
longing
that
was
marred
in
the
pandemic.
Through
Gouri
and
Teejay's
characters,
we
have
attempted
to
show
love
finds
a
way
even
in
tough
times,
we
just
need
to
keep
the
faith.
It's
a
story
that
young
people
across
the
globe
will
relate
to
and
I
am
looking
forward
to
receiving
the
audience's
reactions
after
the
premiere
on
Amazon
Prime
Video."
Halitha
Shameem,
director
of
Loners,
shared,
"My
story
is
about
how
the
pandemic
and
lockdown
pushed
us
to
find
connections
and
support
at
the
most
unexpected
places.
It's
also
about
staying
afloat
especially
when
alone.
Loners
bring
together
two
wonderful
actors
Lijomol
Jose
and
Arjun
Das
and
is
bound
to
tug
at
the
audience's
heartstrings.
I
am
very
excited
that
viewers
across
the
world
can
enjoy
these
uplifting
stories
on
Amazon
Prime
Video."
Madhumita,
director
of
Mouname
Paarvayaai,
said,
"In
these
two
years
of
lockdowns
and
isolation,
we've
been
given
an
opportunity
to
evaluate
&
re-evaluate
our
perspective
on
relationships.
This
film
is
my
take
on
the
relationship
between
a
middle-aged
couple,
portrayed
by
Nadiya
Moidu
and
Joju
George,
living
by
themselves.
The
people
behind
the
voice
tend
to
fade
to
the
background
as
life's
everyday
drudgery
takes
the
forefront.
What
do
we
do
then,
when
this
certainty
is
confronted
by
an
uncertain
future?
I
am
happy
to
be
able
to
put
forward
my
perspective
to
viewers
in
more
than
240
countries
and
territories
through
its
global
launch
on
Amazon
Prime
Video."
Richard
Anthony,
director
of
Nizhal
Tharum
Idham,
said,
"Aishwarya's
story
is
about
how
the
pandemic
becomes
the
backdrop
for
her
character
as
she
goes
on
an
inward
journey
and
deals
with
the
ups
and
downs
of
that
emotional
rollercoaster.
These
turbulent
times
have
been
quite
hard
on
many
and
I
am
certain
that
the
audiences
will
feel
her
sentiments
very
closely.
I
am
eagerly
awaiting
reactions
from
viewers
from
across
the
globe
when
the
series
premieres
on
Amazon
Prime
Video."
Surya
Krishna,
director
of
The
Mask,
shared,
"In
The
Mask,
I
have
highlighted
that
the
pandemic
put
us
in
unique
situations
and,
sometimes,
it
inadvertently
helped
us
in
more
than
one
way,
at
least
that's
how
the
movie
wants
to
manifest
itself
to
build
hope
amidst
the
situation.
Sananth
and
Dhilip's
characters
also
have
an
out-of-the-blue
rendezvous,
experience
emotions
that
are
an
outcome
of
this
COVID
and
figure
out
a
way
through
it.
I
am
glad
that
through
Amazon
Prime
Video
I
am
able
to
take
the
inspirational
story
to
audiences
across
240-plus
countries
and
territories
and
they
will
hopefully
enjoy
it."
