Deeraj Vaidy

We fall short of words to describe this immensely talented, inquisitive, and courageous young director, Deeraj Vaidy. The latest youth icon says that he was passionate about writing and also wanted to work for out of the box ideas. It was this passion which thrust him into short filmmaking. The 24 years old director says that when he came to Coimbatore from Chennai, he did enough work on short documentaries and recalled that they were low and sometimes a zero budget project. He was doing great with his short films on various unspoken and unfolded topics of society. But this was never going to satisfy this budding talent. At the final year of the degree, he thought of pursuing filmmaking as his career. His decision was becoming more firm and strong with time as well as the awards which his short film projects brought to him. The young director believes the most in self-learning and says that doing assistantship under another director was never his option. The curious director did not do haste while making this decision.

He bagged actor Siddharth for this one and said that the actor has always been his first choice for the role. He believes Siddharth never hesitates to experiment with his roles and movies.

Deeraj never forgets to mention his friends and colleagues who helped him in every thick and thin situation of life. These friends are his crew now. The director says that he will not be able to imagine any project without these people, and he constantly needs their support.
