Career

Muthiah moved to Chennai from Srivilliputhur in Virudhunagar to make movies, and debuted with the rural drama Kutti Puli (2013) starring Sasikumar. Kutti Puli did not receive favourable reviews from the media, but went on to perform well at the box office.[1] Muthaiah moved on to make Komban (2015), a story set in the Ramanathapuram district, about Kombaiah Pandian, a butcher played by Karthi, and his relationship with his father-in-law, played by Rajkiran. The director, inspired by the egotistical tussles between his father and his grandmother, scripted the story straight from his own experiences.[1] The release of Komban was mired by controversy when protesters claimed that the story revolved around animosity between different thevar caste groups and that it therefore had the potential to incite violence in southern districts of Tamil Nadu. After a brief legal battle, the film opened to positive reviews and did well commercially.[2] Following the success of the film, he made Marudhu (2016) featuring Vishal and Sridivya in the lead roles.

In 2017, Muthaiah reunited with Sasikumar to make another rural drama film titled Kodiveeran. Prior to the release of the film, the film's producer committed suicide due to financial problems.[3] In January 2018, he began work on Devarattam, a second film with Studio Green, which would feature brother and sisters relationship with Gautham Karthik in the lead role.

gollark: > checkmate simulation theory 😎If this is meant unironically, then no.
gollark: (Almost) nobody analyses a computer program by simulating every atom in the CPU or something.
gollark: There are, still, apparently reasonably good and useful-for-predictions models of what people do in stuff like behavioral economics and psychology, even if exactly how stuff works isn't known.
gollark: We cannot, yet, just spin up a bunch of test societies with and without [CONTENTIOUS THING REDACTED] to see if this is actually true.
