"I knew about world cinema after seeing Kamal's films" - Nithilan Swaminathan and Lokesh Kanagaraj

Nithilan Swaminathan (Kurangu Bommai) and Lokesh Kanagaraj (Maanagaram) talk about being new-gen directors. The challenges. How they learnt their craft. About compromises and finding producers like SR Prabhu (Potential Studios). About reading books to make good cinema. Watching world cinema, Kamal Haasan films, Martin Scorese films, Truffaut and De Sica's films. How they can make a new Thalapathy with Vijay/Ajith, because only if stars act in new-gen films can this become a movement.
