While speaking to The Hindu, Manikandan shared why there has been a deficit of family movies in Tamil cinema over the past few years. He shared, “Rajeshwar Kalisamy (Director of Kudumbasthan) and I are fans of Edgar Wright. He asked me to imagine a film written by V Sekhar and directed by Edgar Wright and that’s how he pitched this film to me. I mean no offence to serials, but that format has taken over this genre. But I remember my childhood films like Varavu Ettana Selavu Pathana, Viralukketha Veekkam and Koodi Vazhnthal Kodi Nanmai which realistically portrayed the lives of middle-class families.”

He further added, “I remember discussing with friends an award-winning Iranian film about the difficulties a family goes through to get themselves a TV. There’s a similar Tamil film starring Nassar sir and Radhika ma’am. I keep saying how if Sekhar sir had framed the film like say Majid Majidi, then ours would have been international films as well.”

“Our idea was to try such a film. Presenting a comedy-family film at the pace of an action film excites me. A family man’s struggles have always been there but in today’s digital world, they have evolved. Kudumbasthan talks about these modern problems and the detached mindset neo-liberalisation has given us. The script has given the right platform to discuss these issues comically. A friend had written in a script how we all used to be together in the streets and television confined us to our respective houses,” he said.
