Life
After assisting in movies such as Oram Po (2007), she debuted as a director with Poovarasam Peepee in 2014.[2] After a gap of more than 5 years, she then directed the critically and commercially successful anthology film Sillu Karupatti (2019) and Aelay (2021) which is available on Netflix.
She directed the first half of her upcoming film Minmini in 2015 and the second half in 2022 with the same actors as it requires different age groups of the artists. Instead of using different actors for different age groups, she waited for 7 years for the actors to grown up and filmed with the same actors.[3]
