Selvaraghavan is one of the few directors of Kollywood who have achieved Cult status. His classics include ‘Pudhupettai’, ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’, ‘Mayakkam Enna’, along with many other films. He last directed the 2019 movie ‘NGK’ which starred Suriya as the lead.
Meanwhile, Selva took to Instagram to post a 14 year old picture of his, but this time with a long and emotional caption that is bound to inspire anyone who reads it. In the caption, he wrote a letter to himself and it is going viral.
The caption read “Dear selva (age 14), The world is laughing at you about the way you look, because of your handicap, the lack of an eye.Every night you cry about it. Sometimes ask God why me? Why did you take my eye?"
“But don't worry selva. In exactly 10 years you will write and direct a blockbuster hit that will change your life forever. The same world will keep looking at you but not with mocking derision but with respect and admiration. People will call you a ‘genius’.”
“If God takes something precious from you he will give it back to you in abundance. So cheer up. Love yourself, Director Selvaraghavan (age 45).” This post from Selva is a part of a campaign run by the NGO Mithra Trust where people are asked to post a young picture of themselves and write a letter to them, spreading positivity.
