Film career

2000-2008

Durai revealed that he had approached S. S. Chakravarthy to make the film Mugavaree (2000) with Ajith Kumar after failing to get noticed for a long period and getting rejected by four producers for the script. Durai had no prior experience in films as an assistant, with Chakravarthy being supportive and maintaining a close link with the film from shoot until post-production, while also playing a part in roping in Jyothika for the film.[3][4] Prior to the release of the film, Ajith, who has happy with the final product, gifted a car to the director.[5] The success of the film led to the producer and the director signing another film together, Kadhal Sadugudu, featuring Vikram and Priyanka Trivedi. In 2005, he directed the gangster film Thotti Jaya, starring Silambarasan and Gopika. Durai's fourth film was Nepali, which starred Bharath and Meera Jasmine.

2013-present

He took a five-year hiatus and directed 6, which cast Shaam and Poonam Kaur.[6] He again took a five-year hiatus before directing Yemaali in 2018. Idea of narration is truly different but the director fails to get the urban flavor right and all his actors are disappointing.[7] He then directed the horror-thriller movie Iruttu with Sundar C. on lead role and the film released on Dec 6th 2019. The film is a watchable horror thriller for the unexplored element and the investigative angle. [8]

gollark: This application is LITERALLY a particle of weight W placed on a rough plane inclined at an angle of θ to the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the particle and the plane is μ. A horizontal force X acting on the particle is just sufficient to prevent the particle from sliding down the plane; when a horizontal force kX acts on the particle, the particle is about to slide up the plane. Both horizontal forces act in the vertical plane containing the line of greatest slope.
gollark: Fiiiiine.
gollark: I agree. It's precisely [NUMBER OF AVAILABLE CPU THREADS] parallelized.
gollark: > While W is busy with a, other threads might come along and take b from its queue. That is called stealing b. Once a is done, W checks whether b was stolen by another thread and, if not, executes b itself. If W runs out of jobs in its own queue, it will look through the other threads' queues and try to steal work from them.
gollark: > Behind the scenes, Rayon uses a technique called work stealing to try and dynamically ascertain how much parallelism is available and exploit it. The idea is very simple: we always have a pool of worker threads available, waiting for some work to do. When you call join the first time, we shift over into that pool of threads. But if you call join(a, b) from a worker thread W, then W will place b into its work queue, advertising that this is work that other worker threads might help out with. W will then start executing a.
