  • IndiaGlitz, [Friday,September 26 2008]

Happy with the success of 'Jeyam Kondaan' is director Kannan. A protégé of Mani Ratnam, Kannan's maiden venture 'Jeyam Kondaan' has managed good reviews and is doing a good business across theatres.

A relieved Kannan, says, I was recommended to producer T G Thayagarajan by my mentor Mani Rathnam sir. I wanted to do a movie for Madras Talkies. However I was happy when I got an offer through Mani sir.

'Jeyam Kondaan' had a good storyline. All the artistes contributed their best. Thyagarajan encouraged me to give my best. Thankfully the movie came out good, he added.

Stating that the industry is witnessing a good trend now, Kannan said, Movies like 'Subramaniapuram', 'Paruthi Veeran' have been adored and admired by the masses. Good movies have started to generate in the field. As far I am concerned, I would come out with movies on positive thoughts. There would be a sense of confidence and courage reflecting in my movies.
