Arivazhagan Venkatachalam is an Indian film director in Tamil cinema known for his 2009 thriller film Eeram . [1]
Arivazhagan Venkatachalam is a gold medalist from the M.G.R. Government Film and Television Training Institute. He went on to assist Shankar. In 2009, he made his directorial debut with Eeram , which was produced by Shankar's production house, S Pictures. [1] The film, with an unusual theme and plot, went on to become a huge hit. Arivazhagan's second film was Vallinam , which was produced by V. Ravichandran. [2] The film was a very bold attempt, as sports dramas were made less frequently in Tamil cinema. Like Eeram, it too went on to become a sleeper hit at the box-office.
His third directorial, Kuttram 23 , was received fairly lesser than his first two films, however, the theme and Arun Vijay's performance were highly praised. It was a profitable venture. He then remade Memories in Tamil as Aarathu Sinam , with Arulnithi. It was fairly successful at the box-office. He reunited with Arun Vijay, again, for the web series, Tamil Rockerz , and his fifth directorial, Borrder.
