Sundar C: ‘Critics don’t appreciate commercial movies because they might get cast out of intellectual circle’

However, Sundar C doesn’t have a bone to pick with critics because he is bothered only about his target audience. “They rate commercial films a bit less than the rest. I am not blaming them. But I think only about my target audience… It’s mostly family audience. So, I am not going to make vulgar or violent films. If you come to Aranmanai in the mood for Schindler’s List, it won’t be good.”

The filmmaker also addressed a long-lasting criticism against him that he uses glamour to sell his films. The director hit back saying, “See, till 2010, glamour was like an integral portion of a film. It will be part of the songs and also a bit of film scenes. Now, it is not necessary. But I feel that only I get asked such questions about glamour. If you take all the big heroes’ films, there will be one or two such songs… Also, a lot of commercial films have glamour. It is even forced. So, I am saying don’t just find fault with me (laughs).”

Starring Tamannaah Bhatia, Raashii Khanna, and Sundar C in the lead roles, Aranmanai 4 will be released in theatres on May 4.
