The critical success of ‘Irudhi Suttru’
has also ensured its commercial success as more and more theaters are
being added for the film. Director Bala who is known to speak his mind
has openly stated that he learnt atleast five to six things about
directing from Sudha.
Bala has said that the way the film has
been made has brought him to tears in many scenes. He lauds Maddy’s
acting saying that he stood up and applauded the actor during the
interval. Bala also let out that Rithika’s actions in the film are
exactly that of Sudha’s in real life and the director has transferred
her character into that to Rithika’s. Bala reserved special praise for
Santhosh Narayanan’s music saying that his quality is that of a music
director who is done 300 or more films. The National Award winning
director concluded by saying that Sudha has made her mentor Maniratnam
proud.
It may be noted that Sudha Kongara has
also assisted Bala in one of his films and she must be on cloud nine to
hear the praises of such an accomplished filmmaker.
