In an industry often driven by superficial metrics, acclaimed filmmaker A.R. Murugadoss has earned recognition for his substance-first approach to cinema. The director, famous for blockbusters like Ghajini and Thuppakki, is currently generating buzz with his upcoming project Sikander, starring Salman Khan, slated for release in 2025.
Atlee recalls A.R. Murugadoss producing his directorial debut film: “He didn’t see how I am looking, whether I’m capable of it or not”
Recent praise came from fellow director Atlee during his appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Sharma Show. Atlee, who has made his mark with successful films like Jawan and Bigil, shared a personal story highlighting Murugadoss’s merit-based approach. As the producer of Atlee’s debut film Raja Rani, Murugadoss focused solely on the strength of the script and narration, disregarding preconceptions about the then-newcomer director’s appearance or experience.
“He asked for the script, but he didn’t see how I am looking, whether I’m capable of it or not. But he loved my narration,” Atlee recalled, emphasizing the importance of judging by merit rather than appearance.
This philosophy has become Murugadoss’s trademark, consistently identifying and nurturing raw talent while prioritizing storytelling excellence. His upcoming venture Sikandar marks his first collaboration with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. The film, described as a high-octane action thriller, is expected to blend intense action sequences with emotional depth – a characteristic combination in Murugadoss’s filmography.
Industry sources suggest that Sikandar will maintain Murugadoss’s commitment to substance over style, promising audiences a compelling narrative alongside spectacular action. The partnership between Murugadoss’s acclaimed storytelling and Khan’s screen presence has created significant anticipation among cinema enthusiasts.
