Career
In 2007, he directed Thirutham who has also written the story, screenplay and dialogue.[2]
He directed Sivakarthikeyan in the comedy film Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam. In a review of the film, a critic stated that the film is a "jolly good fun ride".[3] The film was a commercial success.[4] Ponram went on to work with Sivakarthikeyan in Rajinimurugan (2016) and Seemaraja (2018).[5][6] Rajinimurugan and Seemaraja received mixed reviews upon release although the former ended up as a commercial success.[7][8][9] Ponram also directed Town Bus, starring Gautham Karthik, for the nine-episode anthology series Navarasa; the episode, despite being filmed in October 2020, was not included in the series.[10][11]
Ponram teamed up with M. Sasikumar and Sathyaraj for MGR Magan (2021).[12] Then, he directed DSP starring Vijay Sethupathi. Ponram makes tame attempts to tap into hIs ability for quirky characters while also trying to deliver a typical revenge drama. He fails at both.[13] In 2025, the next film was Kombuseevi stars Shanmuga Pandian and R. Sarathkumar in lead roles.[14]
