Shankar said that thing!

One of the top directors in the Tamil cinema industry is Shankar.

Shankar has never shied away from using grandiose storytelling and original screenplays in his films.

There are many actors and actresses who consider acting in Shankar's film as a career blow.

Shankar's films have had a significant impact on other languages outside Tamil.

The film 'Muthalavan' was directed by Shankar, who has helmed numerous hits in that genre, and was released in 1999.

For this movie, Shankar has assembled a star-studded cast that includes Arjun, Manisha Koirala, Raghuvaran, Manivannan, Vadivelu, Laila, and Sushmita Sen.

Both the movie and its soundtrack were well-received by the public and went on to become hits.

Actor Vijay was slated to play the hero before Arjun in 'Muthalavan'. Director Shankar had shared in an interview the reason why he did not act.

Vijay's father SAC was discussing the date of Muthalvan with a Shankar associate.

Something went awry during their conversation, which prevented Vijay from acting in the movie.

Upon meeting Shankar one day, SAC expressed, "I wish we could have communicated, discussed our communication styles, and had we done so, everything would have worked out."
