Director Ahmed’s Unconventional Approach in ‘Iraivan’ 

Director Ahmed discusses his film ‘Iraivan’ and how it breaks away from psychological thriller templates. The film, starring Jayam Ravi and Nayanthara, promises a unique narrative, steering clear of typical genre expectations.
Ahmed aligns the story with the cast and focuses on portraying psychopathic behaviour rather than delving into backstories. He acknowledges Jayam Ravi’s familiarity with cop roles, aiming for a fresh perspective and a tailor-made character.
Rahul Bose’s return to Tamil cinema in ‘Iraivan’ showcases the actor’s intensity in a performance-oriented role. Ahmed distinguishes between psychopaths and serial killers, emphasizing the influence of circumstances.
‘Iraivan’ boldly depicts violence on screen, staying true to the genre and presenting the raw reality without sugarcoating. Nayanthara’s character subverts traditional female lead arcs, adding depth to the narrative.
Ahmed’s diverse film taste, from classics to contemporary series, reveals his preference for emotion-driven narratives over dark themes. The collaboration with Jayam Ravi for a spy-thriller after ‘Iraivan’ underscores their trust and promises an exciting cinematic experience.
