Actor-composer-director Aadi, who struck gold with his latest
Tamil directorial debut "Meesaya Murukku", says he would like to spread
positivity and instill confidence in the younger generation through his future
projects.
"Meesaya Murukku", released last week in cinemas, has turned
out to be a money-spinner.
A jubilant Aadi told IANS: "We seriously
didn't expect this kind of a reception. Shows are going houseful and the entire
team is on cloud nine. This success means a lot to us and it will motivate us to
continue our good work."
"Meesaya Murukku" is a semi-autobiographical
story of Aadi, a rapper-turned-filmmaker.
"Unlike most films targeted at
youth, 'Meesaya Murukku' instills lot of positivity in youngsters and that's
what has worked in the film's favour big time," he said.
"The general
perception about youth is that they waste time in love, smoking and drinking. I
wanted to change that and show them in a different light," he added.
The
film has worked wonders with college-goers.
"I'd like to spread
positivity and instill confidence in the youth through my films. Cinema is a
great medium to entertain as well as inspire. If you can show them something
positive, I'm sure they will be influenced in the right way," he added.
Will "Meesaya Murukku" be a one-off directorial attempt?
"I'm not sure
about the road ahead. What I'm sure of is that I want to be a responsible
filmmaker," he said.
