Vetrimaran’s movies are widely praised for the bold comments he makes on social status and issues.When discussing this pattern in his films, Vetrimaaran credits it to Pa Ranjith, whom he calls the proponent of this movement.
In a roundtable of Cinema Express, Vetrimaran shared his insights about social justice and the importance of standing up for oppressed people.
He was asked to give his opinion about people who fail to express their views on issues covered in “Viduthalai” and “Maamannan.” Vetrimaaran replied with an instance. He said that whenever we hesitate to interfere in a fight between a wife and husband, even if it is happening on a road, we are all trained not to interfere, letting the oppressor win and making the oppressed suffer.

Vetrimaaran says the movement was started by Pa Ranjith in Tamil cinema. He reveals that Pa Ranjith is the one who started it and even came forward to produce Mari Selvaraj‘s ‘Pariyerum Perumal’ back then. He appreciates people who are trying to do their part nowadays. The director shares that it is not an accomplished task. He recollects when Mari shared how he wanted to stop these fights in a good way. He does not think that they could achieve a socially equal place and he believed that it is a double-edged sword where political correctness limits them from doing something. he never finds it
Vetrimaaran’s next project is “Viduthalai Part 2,” starring Vijay Sethupathi and Soori in the lead roles. Ilaiyaraaja is the music director of this movie.
