Versatile director Shankar who is busy shooting his prestigious project Nanban is celebrating his birthday today and he turns 48 today.
His directorial debut is Gentleman and it turned out to be the biggest movie of that time. From then there is no look back for the director as he went on doing films like Jeans, Kadhalan, Indian, Mudhalvan, Nayak, Boys, Kaadhal, Anniyan, Imsai Arasan 23am Pulikesi, Veyil, Sivaji, Kalloori, Arai Enn 305-il Kadavul, Eeram, Rettaisuzhi, Anandhapurathu Veedu and Enthiran. All these films turned smash hits and took a special place in Kollywood. Apart from appealing the audiences in Tamil he also took away the Tollywood audiences by storm as all his films are dubbed in Telugu.
Born on 17th August, 1963 in Kumbakonam, Shankar completed mechanical engineering. Director’s lucky number is 8 and his favourite cars comprise Toyota and Land Cruiser. He is the only director in India to have grossed over Rs 100 crore with his films in India across all languages.
His next project is multistarrer Nanban which has an ensemble cast of Vijay, Jeeva, Srikanth, Ileana D'Cruz, S.J Surya, Anuya, Lawrence, Sathyaraj and others.
He is in plans of making a sequel to Endhiran and details of this project are yet to be known.
Cinedoor Wishes Shankar a Very Happy Birthday and All The Success.
