Perumal Selvam

Once upon a time, the story of a film used to be the most centered part in making the movie. Even the audience used to encourage the films which had a good plotline. Then, there wasn’t much importance for other players in making the cinema. The directors too couldn't get as much importance as the actor in the films got. Way back in the olden days, the movies become famous with the name of the actors. The promotion process used to go in the name of the cast, but not with the credit of the main makers like directors, producers, etc. Though the work is of the directors and the other crew, it might have been a bit discouraging then, and the days went on without much suffering. Those days are like that. But now, the tradition has changed. People and critics start estimating the film from the very base roots like the photographer, cinematographer, etc. After releasing, critics judge the movie based on the crew, starting from the lightmen to the director. So, every aspect of the film needs to be taken care off. The demand for the ones working in making the movies is increasing nowadays. Here comes the role of the costume designer.
