Director Lingusamy chats about his current Tamil-Telugu bilingual project with Ram Pothineni and why he is wary of OTT platforms
Lingusamy is busy executing something he is doing for the first time in his 20-year-old film career: writing a story.
“Honestly, most of my hits, be it Anandham, Run or Paiyaa, never had any solid stories,” says Lingusamy, in a candid interaction at his Valasaravakkam office, “They all had a collection of good sequences and a screenplay. Now, for the first time, I feel like there is a strong storyline in my current film with Ram Pothineni [RAPO19].”
This comes after a couple of not-so-favourable outings for the filmmaker; was among the most-panned films of the decade.
