There are filmmakers who follow a pattern while making movies. But it’s difficult to put Lingusamy in any category, for his films are different from each other right from the day he started his career.

If his maiden venture ‘Anandam’ was on family values, his second film ‘Run’, starring Madhavan and Meera Jasmine, was a romantic action adventure. It raised many an eyebrow besides making Lingusamy hog all attention.

He then came out with ‘Ji’. The Ajith starrer talked about students entering politics. Besides, it also showed the other side of romance. Then came ‘Sandakozhi’, which took Vishal to the next level. The action movie set in a rural backdrop told film buffs a lot about the vim and vigour of villagers.

For his next film, Lingusamy joined hands with Vikram. The end-product is Bheema, a story on the lives of dons. The scenes that beautifully portrayed the chemistry between Vikram and Trisha and the scenes involving Prakash Raj and Vikram were the much talked about aspects of this movie. Need we say that they were conceived by Lingusamy?

In the meantime, Lingusamy floated Tirupathi Brothers, a production company. The first venture of which was ‘Deepavali’, directed by Ezhil with ‘Jayam’ Ravi and Bhavana in lead roles. Then it was ‘Pattalam’, starring Nadhiya and a host of new faces.

The next venture, ‘Paiya’ was produced by Tirupathi Brothers and Lingusamy wielded the megaphone. The movie brought together Karthi Sivakumar and Tamannah Bhatia, and showcased a journey the lead roles undertake on the request of the heroine. The ups and downs the duo undergo during the journey and how they bond during the same forms the story of ‘Paiya’.

Lingusamy is currently busy with work on ‘Vettai’ that stars an ensemble of stars including Madhavan, Arya, Sameera Reddy and Amala Paul and is set in Thoothukudi. This film will bring together Madhavan and Lingusamy for the second time after ‘Run’ and expectations are sky-high. While Maddy and Arya are brothers, Sameera Reddy and Amala Paul are sisters in this film. Madhavan will be seen as a laidback cop whilst Sameera plays his wife. The film will release simultaneously in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi…
