Amaran, the art director of Rajinikanth’s Lingaa directed by KS Ravikumar, heaps praise on superstar. Amaran worked as an assistant to Sabu Cyril a decade back in Kamal Haasan’s Pancha Thanthiram directed by KS Ravikumar. Now, almost after a decade, he is working as an art director in Lingaa while his mentor Sabu Cyril takes the credit of the film’s production designer. “I feel so proud and happy to have worked in Lingaa. Working with Rajinikanth is an incredible experience. He has treated me like his close friend throughout the shoot with utmost simplicity,” says Amaran who accredits his successes and skillsets to his guru Sabu Cyril.
Amaran debuted as an art director in Jithan and Mysskin, who worked as an assistant director in the film, later roped him in for his debut film Chithiram Pesuthadi. He has continued to work with Mysskin in Anjaathe, Yudham Sei and Nandalala over the years. Amaran considers Mysskin as his trusted and most important friend in the industry. Aadhi – Nikki Galrani starrer Yagavarayinum Naa Kakka is also Amaran’s upcoming film.
