Directing “Thangam”, from Paava Kadhaigal – Sudha Kongara shares, “Each story in Paava Kadhaigal explores human relationships from a perspective that it has never been looked at before – how far would one go in the name of honor.

It is incredible that this story – a true one that still happens in the country is being showcased to people all around the globe.”
“Each of these stories brings together incidents from across the country that are gruesome. It shows how pride on a personal and societal level affects human relationships. I am looking forward to this story reaching out to an audience around the globe and relate with them in some way or the other,” added creator of Paava Kadhaigal’s “Oor Iravu” – Vetri Maaran.
