Mari Selvaraj interview on ‘Vaazhai’: If a director really wants to test their acumen, they should do a children’s film

The biggest artwork adorning Mari Selvaraj’s office — there are a lot of them, all in monochrome — is the imagery of a young Mari sitting on a table with books penned by him, surrounded by visionaries BR Ambedkar, Periyar and Karl Marx. Apart from turning a part of my life into a film, shooting a film where a story’s victim is its director, was a challenge. If a director really wants to test their acumen, they should do a children’s film because working within their pure world is a challenge.
