I’ve completed my next film, 100 Kodi Vaanavillugal, which explores a simple but deep question: What if a girl falls in love at 15, but at 20, starts wondering if she made the wrong choice?

Many women complete IT and engineering degrees, but their families don’t allow them to take corporate jobs, fearing they might get “spoiled.”

When a woman says she wants a life partner, society often misunderstands her and questions her intentions.
In Nooru Saami, a 42-year-old mother gives a strong reply to a 66-year-old woman,
“If you are still with your spouse at 66 for the same reason, then why can’t I feel the same way?”
Theatres erupted in applause for that powerful moment.
