Career

Their pair's first film as directors was Ullaasam (1997) which had Ajith Kumar and Vikram in the lead roles and produced by Amitabh Bachchan. Despite having a high-profile cast and production studio, the film became a failure at the box office. They have also directed Whistle (2003) and numerous Tamil television serials.[4] The duo have made an animation feature film Pandavas in 2005. The duo subsequently next worked as Production Designers to Shankar in Sivaji (2007), helping with story discussion.[5]
