rdf:langString As I evolve in my career, I believe it’s my duty to convey some message through my films. I did that via my last film Velaikkaran. I’m surprised people still talk about Remo, and I know I’ll be asked this question for another five years. But there won’t be any drinking scenes or teasing and chasing women in my future films. Most directors avoid such scenes when they’re writing for me.
