From just another fanboy to a scenarist in Vijay’s film; Aadai director Rathna Kumar shares his inspiring journey

Tamil filmmaker Rathna Kumar has a shared a video on his social media handle in which he is seen dancing to the tunes of ‘Pokkiri Pongal’ at the Chepauk stadium during an Indian Premier League (IPL) match. The latter half of the video shows actor Vijay thanking Rathna Kumar for being part of his upcoming film ‘Master’. Rathna has co-written the film’s screenplay along with director Lokesh Kanagaraj and Pon Parthiban.

Rathna Kumar has been a huge fan of Vijay since long. His journey from being just another fanboy to a scenarist in Vijay’s film is nothing but inspiring. At the recently held audio launch event of ‘Master’, the star thanked Rathna for collaborating with the Master team despite being a two-film-old director.

Rathna Kumar has helmed films like ‘Meyaadha Maan’ and ‘Aadai’. Both the films were well received and emerged commercially successful. While ‘Meyaadha Maan’ was a fun rom-com, ‘Aadai’ starring Amala Paul dealt with a more serious and daring subject. Upon release, Rathna had garnered critical appreciation for his filmmaking skills.
