Career

He initially began his career as a dialogue writer to film director Dharani and penned dialogues for the Vikram-starrer Dhill (2001), Dhool (2003) and Vijay-starrer Ghilli (2004), as well as for Madhesh's Madhurey (2004).[1] Since then, he has intermittently been credited as a dialogue writer, most notably working on Ajith Kumar's Veeram (2014) which was directed by Siva.[2]

Bharathan made his directorial debut with the thriller film Azhagiya Tamil Magan (2007) starring Vijay and Shriya Saran in the lead roles. Despite having a renowned technical crew, including music composed by A. R. Rahman, the film became an average at the box office.[3] His second film, the thriller Athithi (2014) featuring Nandha and Nikesh Ram, opened to mixed reviews and had a low key release.[4] He later worked with Vijay again in Bairavaa (2017), with the film taking a strong opening at the box office.[5][6]

gollark: The economic damage is almost certainly better than the increased deaths/sick people which would result from doing less.
gollark: And I'd argue that not knowing exactly what it can do means you should treat it more seriously.
gollark: It's very infectious, mortality rate between, what, 0.2% and 10%, depending (probably only 10% as an upper bound with really overloaded healthcare), and not really any good treatments yet.
gollark: We have a decent idea.
gollark: Also, it spreads through... breathing, as well as surfaces, so...
