Sudha Kongara, A Role Model For Female Directors

The number of female directors in the industry is very small. They have to work extra hard to gain recognition as the industry is overwhelmed by films by male directors. Sudha Kongara is one of the few female directors who has overcome the hurdles and developed a hit film, Irudhi Suttru.

The director believes that the term female director should not be used to define a person. Speaking to Behindwoods, she said, “Now that you see that I could garner commercial success too, why refer to me as a ‘lady director’, I suppose just director is good”. Irudhi Suttru has been called a hit film by the Chennai city Box-office report by the website.

She has inspired other female directors in the industry as well, one of them being Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi Stalin. She directed the rom-com Vanakkam Chennai. “I made a safe decision of choosing a romcom for my debut. Now that Irudhi Suttru is a success I am going to experiment boldly for my next venture”, Kiruthiga reveals.
