Vincent Selva is an Indian film director and screenwriter known for his contributions to the Tamil film industry. His noteworthy debut came with the film “Priyamudan,” featuring Vijay and Kausalya. This romantic film, released in 1998, enjoyed significant success at the box office and was later remade in Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi. Of particular note, “Priyamudan” marked Vijay’s portrayal of an anti-hero character, a departure from his typical roles.
In 1999, Vincent Selva directed “Iraniyan,” a fictional biography centered around freedom fighter “Vattakudi Iraniyan,” starring Murali and Meena. However, the film received mixed reviews. In 2002, he helmed “Youth,” featuring Vijay and Shaheen Khan, which garnered praise from both critics and audiences. Unfortunately, a project titled “Enna Peyar Veikalaam,” with Karthik in the lead, faced challenges and was eventually called off due to complications during production.
Vincent Selva’s career also includes films like “Jithan,” a successful remake of the Bollywood movie “Gayab,” and “Jithan 2.” Notably, accomplished directors Mysskin and S. P. Jananathan had the opportunity to work as assistants under his guidance. Despite some setbacks and shelved projects, Vincent Selva has left a mark on the Tamil film industry with his diverse filmography and contributions as a director and screenwriter.
