Vazhakku director dreams

Did you know that director Balaji Shaktivel came into the industry wanting to become an actor?
The filmmaker, who is receiving a lot of acclaim for his latest flick Vazhakku Enn 18/9, revealed this himself during a chat show on television recently. "Yes, I wanted to become an actor," he said, "But slowly, I moved into direction."
This is perhaps why the filmmaker is giving a lot of opportunities to youngsters and amateurs in his films.While his landmark flick Kadhal made Bharath and Sandhya sensations overnight, his current film also revolves around newcomers and have given them a big break in Kollywood.
