One of the most talented and celebrated filmmakers of the past twenty years, AR Murugadoss, through his movies like Ghajini, Thuppakki, and Kaththi, has seen so much success end with failure. He talked about how the travails of life and cinema have shaped him into who he is. Known for blockbuster commercial cinema, the filmmaker candidly said he got to where he is in life with several failures.
He mentioned that films such as ‘Spyder’ and ‘Akira’ were flops. Over lesser woes, they designated sane respect for failure. Murugadoss just believed on correcting the mistakes that had been made the script, the editing, or, perhaps, a failure of the director in analyzing the data. He argued against pitfalls and pointed out that, while one doesn’t expect his career to end in such a situation, a positive takeaway was acquired in that mistake.
Arrogance Ensued Resilience
Murugadoss emphasized that his humble beginnings taught him the humility to work earnestly with bated breath for new courses ories. Success was to blame for arrogance as it made him convinced that he was doing everything right. When he uttered that, it sounded so true about every film director. “There are too many directions in between to get lost and too many lines to which a comeback is possible.” No filmmaker was great for having very few mistakes; every filmmaker is subject to making mistakes all through his career.
Discarding and Recalling Challenges
Murugadoss was of the opinion that examples of failure keep a person grounded although he was more than overjoyed with success and ecstasy. Failure is a duty to success. These are the essential qualities for budding filmmakers, and these qualities are the source of inspiration that will always bring a filmmaker back. Any filmmaker who is hit with many failures and support events to teach the workload of brilliance often seems to be doubting the”forehead march of merebore-angers”.
To young filmmakers with a burning passion to narrate stories, Murugadoss has only one advice. “Do not be scared of failure. It teaches more than success ever can.” Consistency is the single most important attribute that will take the filmmaker to successful completion. He said every failed endeavor should be extremely taken as lessons not to be repeated and eventually promulgated into stronger creativity and better decisions for the coming projects.
