Biography

Considered to be one of the most audacious, divisive and skilled filmmakers in modern Tamil cinema, Selvaraghavan is an Indian film director and screenwriter. His work, which often investigates human relationships, youth and adolescence through fantastical and psychological lenses has been subject to acclaim from both audiences and critics alike. A popular cult director known for his frequent collaborations with actor Dhanush (his younger brother), and for often featuring mentally disturbed, immoral characters and controversial themes in his films, Selvaraghavan has been praised for his mature, often subversive and detailed directorial style.
