The Hindu News :
Karthik Subbaraj
Age: 30
Route to success: I worked in a software company in Bangalore and made short films during weekends. I learnt the basics during a one-day workshop called Film Camp Sanjay Nambiar. Out of the five years I spent in software, I was in the U.S. for two. I worked with an indie filmmaker called Mark Williams, a lawyer who was making a zero budget family drama called Move Me. I had assisted him in a documentary made for the church and also did live sound and ran second unit. I made two short films in the U.S. but it was Kaatchipizhai that I made in Madurai that got selected for Naalaya Iyakunar. Thuru was my most popular short, Vijay Sethupathy acted in it and my comedy Black and White went to fests and Neer , the film I made for the final round earned me the second prize.
Learning from the show: “I was doing it the amateur way, doing everything myself tillNaalaya Iyakunar . They said you need crew members, they insisted on having proper production values. So I learnt a lot about making films for that show... Sound design, working with a crew, handling budget. I spent about Rs. 15,000 per film on an average. I had some money from my savings and my parents supported me.”
First film: It took Karthik a year and a half before he started Pizza . I met a lot of producers and made many contacts through the show and the guidance from the judges Madhan and Pratap Pothen was invaluable. Sundar, an executive producer who worked with CV Kumar put me in touch and he liked my films. The first script I narrated was Jigarthanda . He liked it but wanted to do a smaller film. That’s how I wrote Pizza .
Signature style: “I haven’t yet found out. I don’t want the film to say it is a Karthik Subbaraj film because anyway they will come to know when they see my name in the credits. I am not fixed about anything. I start writing with an open mind without thinking about genre and realise only after writing, that it falls under many genres.”
Next: Jigarthanda . He just completed a long schedule in Madurai. The film starring Siddharth, Lakshmi Menon, Bobby Simha and Karuna will be ready by December.
