“I never take up a subject that does not excite me. That’s a policy from day one. I have always had the freedom to choose,” says Pasupathy, who entered the world of entertainment more than two decades ago when he joined theatre group Koothu-p-pattarai.
Considering his theatre background and the fact that he entered the industry to become a director, is there hope of him ever doing both? “I would love to. But, I don’t know when. Theatre requires a commitment of at least six months, and I don’t have that kind of time now. As for direction, I can’t say anything now.”
