Sudha Kongara, Vetri Maaran, Vignesh Shivan, Gautham Vasudev Menon on 'liberation' they felt while making Paava Kadhaigal
FirstpostThe makers behind Netflix’s Tamil anthology Paava Kadhaigal speak about going against the grain, sticking to certain motifs, and more, in this interview. Paava Kadhaigal, the Netflix anthology directed by Sudha Kongara, Vignesh Shivan, Gautham Vasudev Menon and Vetri Maaran, is a difficult anthology to classify, because amid that stomach-churning sense of dread, you still sneak a smile. Plus, I’ve entered this ‘short’ space many years after I worked on Kadhai Neram [his mentor Balu Mahendra’s short story series on television in the year 2000>, and it felt good. Gautham Vasudev Menon: This is a side I’ve always wanted to explore, and this time around, I did with the content and the milieu. I saw Premam while making Asuran, and felt Sai Pallavi could do ‘loving vulnerable’ very well.
