Sudha Kongara Talks About Her Fight With Venkatesh

In a recent interview of the Tamil directors roundtable with Film Companion South, Sudha Kongara talked about her fight with Venkatesh during the shoot of Guru. Sudha Kongara and Venkatesh share a great bond with each other, Sudha wanted only Venky for Guru, as he was perfect for the role, but they also had their fights on the sets of Guru.

This came in response to a question from the host, Baradwaj Rangan who asked her why there are very few women directors in the Tamil film industry. This is what Sudha had to say in response to the question:

“There are a lot of reasons for this, physical reasons, marriage, mental and physical changes in the body, emotional reasons. It has always been a male-dominated, patriarchal society.”

In fact, I always fight with Venkatesh over this matter, Venkatesh keeps telling me that my husband is great for letting me make films, then I tell him why should he allow me? I’m balancing both my personal as well as professional life, it hasn’t been easy. I have worked hard.”

We all know Sudha Kongara as the successful director of Soorarai Pootru and Guru, but what we don’t know is her struggle to reach this position. Sudha has worked her way to the top, from assisting Mani Ratnam in 2000 to making her own films. It has taken her 20+ years to establish herself in the industry.

Her journey has not been easy either, if you take a look at her filmography, she has been able to make only 5 feature-length films in 22 years in the film industry.

Sudha’s next movie is with Maanadu star Simbu.
