2006

Kumararaja began writing his maiden film in December 2006.

Kumararaja took more than one and a half years to complete the film, which was entirely shot in and around Chennai.

Upon completion, the film ran into trouble when the regional censor board in Chennai refused to clear it, demanding 52 cuts due to profanity and excessive violence.

Kumararaja expressed that he made the film for a matured audience and not for children, while adding that he expected difficulties in the censorship.

Since he wanted to present the film uncompromisingly to the audiences, he and Charan approached the Central Tribunal at Delhi, that cleared the film.

Through Pushkar-Gayathri, Kumararaja met S. P. B. Charan, who agreed to produce his first feature film Aaranya Kaandam.

At the Class XII failed in Mathematics subject.

On his words "If I didn’t like the teacher, I wouldn’t study."
