Selvaraghavan is the modern master in Tamil films. There is a gritty realism in all his movies as he likes to show them as they are. He does not go stylized showcasing. Instead, he intelligently and interestingly tells you the seamier side of life, without bothering to softening the rough edges.

His latest movie Puthupettai is no exception. His skill --- he has brough a new idiom to Tamil filmmaking -- shines through like summer sun.

Dhanush, his brother, has given the right expressions to it all.

Here Selvaraghavan, Dhanush and Soni Agarwal talk about the film and the making of it.
