Shankar made his debut as a director with Gentleman starring Arjun back in 1994. Over the years, the director has made some of the biggest hits in the country like Enthiran, 2.0, and Anniyan. Shankar’s films are known for their extravagant sets and high production costs. He is also known for introducing many foreign technologies to Indian cinema. Even before pan-Indian cinema became a thing, Shankar was making movies that had a market across the country.

He is currently directing Kamal Haasan in Indian 2, which is set to be released by the end of this year.

Meanwhile, the picture from the party for Shankar also features two of the most important directors of the current generation. One is Mani Ratnam, who also happens to be the most senior director in the picture. The other director is Lokesh Kanagaraj, the youngest in the group.

While Kanagaraj is working on the post-production of Vijay’s Leo, Ratnam will next direct Kamal Haasan in an untitled project.
