ACCLAIMED FILMMAKER SHANJHEY KUMAR PERUMAL, who made his directorial debut with 2015’s Jagat, announced that he has finally found a new story worth telling on the big screen. Having won Best Director award at the 28th Malaysia Film Festival (FFM), our 2016 Men of the Year honouree’s debut is largely considered to be one of the best Tamil language films made in Malaysia.
“Throughout my career, I had to turn down various opportunities to arrive at one that resonated with me. I’ve been conscious, picky, and careful over my next project after Jagat, no regrets.” said Shanjhey. Making his comeback after seven years, the renowned director is beyond ecstatic to return to the world of filmmaking. Recently, we had the opportunity to speak to Shanjhey as he shares his thoughts on the current state of moviemaking.
