Must Watch: Samuthirakani’s Honest Talk with Gulte Pro

In a heartfelt and honest interaction with Gulte Pro, Samuthirakani shares his thoughts on cinema, life, and the journey that shaped him. Known for his grounded personality, he speaks with clarity and conviction about what truly drives him.

Samuthirakani reveals that his journey has always been guided by an unseen “force.” From struggling days in Chennai with barely any money to becoming a respected actor and director, he believes this force has pushed him forward at every stage. Despite success, he continues to stay humble and focused.

For him, cinema is more than entertainment. It is a tool to bring change. Films like Naadodigal and Appa were created with a purpose. He shares how audiences connected deeply with these stories, with some even changing their outlook on life after watching them.

His upcoming film Carmaniselvam carries a similar message. It deals with middle-class struggles, debt, and the pressure to maintain social status. Through this film, he hopes people reflect on their choices and realities.

A key idea he strongly believes in is time. According to him, time is the ultimate power that controls everything. This belief has shaped both his personal life and career decisions.

He also speaks openly about the film industry. Content-driven films, he says, often face hurdles due to internal politics and ego. Even good films sometimes don’t get the recognition they deserve. OTT platforms too, which once supported small films, are now shifting towards big-star content.

Despite all challenges, Samuthirakani remains committed to his work. He calls himself a workaholic who finds energy on sets. For him, cinema is life, and if his films can create even a small positive impact, that itself is a big success.
