P. S. Mithran is an Indian film director and writer, who is currently working in the Tamil film industry. He made his directorial debut through Irumbu Thirai (2018) and followed it up with the superhero film Hero (2019).
Career
In August 2016, Vishal decided to fund and act in a venture directed by P. S. Mithran, and subsequently signed on actress Samantha to play the leading female role in the film[1][2][3]. In fact, the director wrote the antagonist's role for Arjun, but Arjun refused to act as the antagonist[4]. The team then signed Arya to play the antagonist in October 2016, with the actor accepting terms without hearing the film's entire script. Subsequently, music composer Yuvan Shankar Raja, cinematographer George C. Williams and editor Ruben were added to the project. Designers NJ Sathya and Neeraja Kona also were revealed to be in charge of the costumes of the lead actors for the film.
The film, titled Irumbu Thirai, was released on 11 May 2018, to positive reviews from critics, for its story, screenplay, background score and performances (particularly those of Vishal and Arjun). It completed a 100-day box office run, subsequently becoming a blockbuster[5].
Mithran's next venture was the superhero film Hero (2019), starring Sivakarthikeyan and Kalyani Priyadarshan in the lead roles. Mithran once again collaborated with actor Arjun and music director Yuvan Shankar Raja for the film, and debuted Bollywood actor Abhay Deol through the film, playing the main antagonist. The film released on 20 December 2019 to a positive reception from critics.
Mithran is currently working on his next project, “Karthi22” starring Karthi in the lead role.
Style
Mithran's films mainly focus on thrillers and common societal themes. His films often use green tinting. As of Hero, music director Yuvan Shankar Raja, cinematographer George C. Williams and editor Ruben are his regular collaborators.
