ATLEE AND OTHER TOP DIRECTORS COME TOGETHER FOR SHANKAR

It all started with the 1993 vigilante-heist film Gentlemen, here we are 25 years from its release and Shankar is still ruling the roost like no one else. Most of his films have been runaway blockbusters. He is known for his lavish sets but has he been praised enough for conceiving such unthinkable ideas and making it happen on screen?

He is already in the top and we hope he lifts his own benchmark a notch higher with his upcoming science-fiction entertainer 2.0.

Some of the current top directors in Tamil are from Shankar's camp, his assistants like Atlee, Balaji Sakthivel, Vasantha Balan, Arivazhagan and few more have made it big in the industry.

Meanwhile, all Shankar's assistants including Atlee and Balaji Sakthivel came together to felicitate Shankar for completing 25 years in the industry. Shankar took to his Twitter space to thank his assistants.

Overwhelmed by the affection showed by my assistants. Without you all my journey wouldn’t be possible.🙏 pic.twitter.com/QeA6x2PSaT
