Fast ahead to 2022, the duo are again with yet one more intriguing story titled Suzhal – The Vortex on Amazon Prime Video.
The sequence is directed by Bramma and Anucharan, and has Kathir, Aishwarya Rajesh, Sriya Reddy and R Parthiban in key roles. Speaking concerning the 8-episode sequence, creator and author Pushkar, says, “It is an investigative thriller, based on a girl gone missing. You have the idea of how a crime affects the fabric of a small town. It is the reaction to what has happened, and how it sends ripples through people over there. We wanted the larger bigger emotion, which you experience in a theatre, to translate on screen. Generally, web shows, people think small venture, but this is not one of them. This has been mounted on a large scale. We are releasing in 30 plus languages and in 240 countries.”

So, there is the plot that will keep you intrigued, and then there are characters and character arc, which will keep you emotionally invested in the series,” he elucidates. Ask them concerning the expertise writing the sequence, and Gayathri says, “Writing doesn’t come so easy to us. We are still struggling on how to write features.

Gayathri goes on the reveal that the duo initially began engaged on the script lengthy again. “We started working on the story in 2014-2015. That time we were thinking of it as a feature. So, as the story started developing, we realized that this has legs, and this needs to be a longer story. Within two hours we cannot contain all the characters and the arc. That time we didn’t have OTT platforms in India, so we thought they will come one day that time we will do that. It took us a long to write —almost a year and a half. That is also because we are little slow and lazy,” she laughs, as Pushkar factors out that “it’s not the norm, we shouldn’t take that long! (laughs)”.

We came back to India saying we will make films in our hometown only. Our first three films, we didn’t even cross the border of Madras (Chennai). We strongly believe in an Indian form of storytelling. Somewhere, we shouldn’t be aping some other country’s way of telling stories. There is an Indian storytelling ethos that we should stick with. In the process of trying to be universal, we shouldn’t become so homogenized that our stories are just the same as an American, European Korean or a Japanese story.”
