Chidambaram is a young filmmaker who has worked as an assistant to National Film Award winning director Jayaraj and also worked in cinematography with Rajeev Ravi and K. U. Mohanan. He made his directorial debut in 2021 with Malayalam comedy drama ‘Jan.E.Man’ which was unanimously praised by the critics for its clean humour, emotional depth, story and Chidambaram’s deft direction.
His next was ‘Manjummel Boys’ (2024) which once again was smashing hit. In fact it set new box office record and became the first Malayalam to have collected more than ₹200 crores, breaking the record of ‘2018’. Not only was it a grand commercial success but also received huge critical acclaim.
Having made only two feature films till now and both being very impressive, Chidambaram’s Hindi debut will have massive expectations and will be highly awaited.
