M. Rajesh, a prominent Indian film director and screenwriter, has made a significant mark in the Tamil film industry, particularly known for his prowess in crafting comedy films. He initiated his directorial journey with the well-received “Siva Manasula Sakthi” in 2009, setting the stage for subsequent hits like “Boss Engira Bhaskaran” (2010) and “Oru Kal Oru Kannadi” (2012), all resonating positively with audiences and achieving box office success.
Hailing from Nagercoil, Rajesh initially pursued engineering at the National Engineering College in Kovilpatti but transitioned to the film industry after a brief stint in Mumbai’s information technology sector.
Starting as an assistant director under Ameer, he broke away from imitation, forging his distinct directorial style. His debut film’s triumph, “Siva Manasula Sakthi,” marked the beginning of a successful phase, with accolades continuing for “Boss Engira Bhaskaran” (2010) and “Oru Kal Oru Kannadi” (2012), recognized by Sify for revitalizing light-hearted comedy without elaborate storylines.
However, Rajesh faced a setback with subsequent films like “All in All Azhagu Raja” (2013) and “Vasuvum Saravananum Onna Padichavanga” (2015), prompting critiques of losing his “Midas touch.
” Despite this, he persisted with diverse projects, such as “Vanakkam Da Mappilei” in 2021 and “Mirrage” in 2022, deviating from his comedy forte in the anthology thriller series “Victim.” Simultaneously, he embarked on the creation of a new film titled “Brother.”
