Suseenthiran, whose last directorial was Nenjil Thunivirundhaal, on Saturday announced the plans for his future projects on the occasion of his birthday.
“Over the 10-year span, I have introduced five new actors and producers. I have almost completed work on Angelina and Genius. Production work on my new film Champion, which is based on football, will start immediately after the strike is called off,” he said. The director further said that he is experimenting with fresh themes and approach for all his upcoming projects.
Angelina is being produced by RD Paneerselvam, has music composer Sam CS of Vikram Vedha fame on board.
Referring to the suicide of Ashok Kumar, producer and assistant to Sasikumar, which drew attention to money lenders like Anbu Chezhian, Suseenthiran said that he has never borrowed money for any of his films and nor does lend anyone money. “My comments after the sad demise of Ashok Kumar have caused resentment among some producers and actors, who borrow money from the financier in question, and they aren’t willing to work with me. But I am not affected by these things as I made my debut with newcomers.”
