Career

Sundar began his career as an assistant director to Manivannan and made his directorial debut with the film Murai Maman in 1995.

He received the Kalaimamani award from the Government of Tamil Nadu in 2009. [8] He then made a directorial comeback with Nagaram Marupakkam in 2010.

In 2012, Sundar directed the comedy film Kalakalappu , which was a commercial hit. [9] He followed it up with Theeya Velai Seiyyanum Kumaru (2013), Aranmanai (2014), Aranmanai 2 (2016) and Kalakalappu 2 (2018).
