It's three in a row for Ameer. After Mounam Pesiyadhae and Ram, his Paruthi Veeran released last week-end managed not just huge collections at the box office but also rave reviews. Ameer, who is down with fever in Madurai, is thrilled at the movie's fantastic opening. According to the director, 'My faith in the script has been vindicated. The delay in the release has not hampered its prospects. It again proves that audiences are ready to welcome off-beat and out of the box ideas.'
Ameer was also appreciative of his cast and crew in Paruthi Veeran.
'A movie on rural theme with folk arts is a rarity these days. But if made sincerely, it would go on to succeed,' he says.
On his next, Ameer says, 'The script for my next directorial venture is ready. It has been titled Kannabiran. Search for a suitable hero is on.'
On his plans to foray into acting, Ameer says, 'For now, I want to direct a movie. But by next year, my acting venture will kick off and the film would be directed by Samuthirakani.'
