Yes.. That is what I referred there as well. Cheran is a good but not a great director ! (100% true) He is a good director IF u compare him to VISU or anyone who dealt with FAMILY DRAMA or anyone who dealt with HUMAN EMOTIONS in their film. In that sense, his scripts and narration just makes sure that we remain in the same platform rather than improving on story and screenplay front. His film are great ONLY IF we compare them with MASALA movies and feel happy. :) this is my personal opinion. I was referring to HIS SPEECH there since he was talking about the continuing MASALA trend and actors reluctance in accepting stories like SMK / Autograph. This has a direct INFLUENCE on his movie making and presentation IMO. I don't think it is OFF THE SCREEN thing. It puts him on the edge to PRESENT HIM AS THE HERO neglecting the responsibility of an intelligent creator. I am sure there are many young talents who could have done AUTOGRAPH much better than how Cheran did ! His prejudice and assumptions make him run as an egoistic director who forces his views on others ! :) (sorry if it sounded a bit harsh). He is definitly not in the league of directors who dealt with DIFFERENT SUBJECTS which radically paved a different way !Quote:
