Kaala director Pa Ranjith to helm web series on Silk Smitha?

Filmmaker Pa Ranjith, who has carved a niche for himself with his socially conscious films, is bound to give a fresh perspective to Smitha’s story. Ranjith has also earned a name for his dignified and realistic female portrayals. Thus, one can expect the series to go beyond the ‘sexy siren’ image of Smitha. According to reports, the makers of the series believe that Smitha’s childhood has still not been explored and the series will begin from her young days. Other details of the project are yet to be unveiled.

Basking in the critical acclaim of Kaala, Pa Ranjith has his hands full. His production house Neelam Productions is bankrolling Maari Selvaraj’s Pariyerum Perumal. He also backed documentary filmmaker Malini Jeevarathinam’s Ladies and Gentlewomen.
