Its detractors have questioned the continued hold of one family in a party born out of a social justice movement and that swears by its ideological moorings in the Dravidian movement. While the DMK is not the first party to become a family dominion, a Cabinet featuring both a father and son is still relatively rare. It shed light on the caste prejudices within Dravidian parties, particularly in the Kongu region of western Tamil Nadu.

In June, a movie starring Udhayanidhi became the talking point as it tackled the question of caste and its place in Dravidian politics. I will continue to trust my instincts and do whatever excites me.Now, Udhayanidhi is also a star attraction of the DMK’s social media handles, which often feature visuals of the Karunanidhi family scion visiting slums in his constituency, particularly during the rainy and flood-prone seasons. That's how much I don't believe in having long-term plans. I guess that makes my views align with this generation of youngsters.'Īsked about the road ahead, she shares that 'the plan is not to have a plan'. I don't quite feel my age and am a kid at heart.

Kiruthiga spent a couple of days with 30 transgender people before she made Sadhayai Meeri (2017), a support video for the community. Hopefully, you can hear an official announcement soon.' I have signed the film, but I am yet to finalise the actors. 'I strongly believe all social rules are meant to be broken and my next film is about a person who operates with this idea in their mind. He sees me as an equal, contemporary director and keeps pushing me to go the extra mile in cinema.' She adds that her next project will be a step in that direction. Though she hasn't trained under any director, she considers Mysskin as her main support among contemporary filmmakers. Being a part of a political family has never come in the way of my creativity and experimental side,' she says. 'Cinema is a demanding field for women, and without an understanding family like mine, my journey couldn’t have been this easy. I never took a break I just didn't find the right banners to bankroll my projects.' She feels that the support of her family enables her to do whatever she wants.
