Debutant director Sasi Kumar is a very happy and relieved man. His maiden production and directorial venture 'Subramainapuram' is doing extremely good business.

The movie that dwells on the life of youths in a small hamlet Subramaniapuram near Madurai features Jai, Ganja Karuppu, Samudhirakani and Sasi Kumar himself.

A protégé of Bala, Sasi Kumar's film has been set in 1980s. It is now acclaimed as retro classic and the movie is garnering positive reviews. Since the movie released soon after 'Dasavatharam' did, there were doubts as to whether the movie would click. All those doubts have been cleared now and 'Subramaniapuram' has had a tremendous opening.

The movie deviated from commercial clichés and managed to strike it rich. Says Sasi Kumar, "My faith in Tamil audiences has been reposed now. They are always receptive of good films".

On bloodshed and gory scenes towards the climax, Sasi Kumar, says, "If we have to educate masses on the evils of violence, obviously the movie should accommodate such scenes".

"All have performed well in the movie and credit should go to every artiste, technician involved in the movie", says the happy director.
