" It's not tough for a person who lives with his wife to make an action thriller"

An exclusive interview with Kovai Anuradha, a renowned writer of TV and stage dramas - Part II


What is your opinion on "Sachu" , a regular artiste in your serials?
A real good artiste.

Will it be difficult for you to act under other's direction?
No certainly not. I am an easygoing person. So its not a big issue at all.

Will you be able to direct an action thriller?
Of course, yes. Do you think it's tough to make an action thriller for a person who lives with his wife?

Who is your favourite story writer and favourite director?
Storywriter is Director Mahendran, favourite director is Balu Mahendra.

Do you think you have achieved what you wanted?
There is no end for achievement. Each and every thing is a mere start in life.

Is it secured to depend media income alone?
No not at all for a stage artiste.

What is the success formula for the media?
People are the success. A project should reach atleast 80% of the viewers as an incident happened or happening in and around them.

Are you happy with the trend of our mega serials?
I'm really happy to answer this question. I am totally against this trend. I try my level best to criticize it to the core through my serials. I feel that there cannot be a story to drag for 200 or 300 weeks.

Why are the stage dramas not getting proper response compared to cinema or serial?
A real good question. If you compare the budget of a stage drama with that of a serial or cinema,it is nothing. For example consider the set designed for cinema or serial. But in stage we don't go for different sets for different scenes. We use whatever we get .

What is your opinion about artistes getting into politics?
According to me, it is not at all necessary. But it depends on individuals. If you feel like getting retired from this media then take a chance to try your luck using your popularity.

About the death of Shivaji, the Giant of Tamil film industry ?
I have a lot of respect for him. Particularly because he too was from the stage. I too share my grievance along with everyone.

How do you think that the vaccuum created by him will get filled?
He is a giant. There is no second thought in that. But I personally feel that an unfilled vaccuum cannot be created in this world by the demise of an individual.

Are you a theist or atheist?
I like this question too. I am a real theist. Here I need to remember my dialogue I wrote for the drama "Rahim Thedia Ram".

What is the lesson you learnt with your huge experience in this industry?
Hard work will never fail, it will reap fruit at the end.

What is the advice or suggestion you like to give to the young talents in this industry?
Hard work will never fail, it will reap fruit at the end.

What is your response to the general comment that people from stage to camera overact?
Stage artistes reach the person in the last row thro' their dialogue delivery not thro' the expressions. Then how can they overact in front of the camera?

Something u still disagree in this industry?
I always disagree with only one thing in this media. It's that the pregnancy in this media is confirmed only after a vomiting or a fainting. It looks so prematured. Do we really need to continue with such old fashioned techniques?
