I will start it only after completing the film with Fahadh sir. I was planning to start a new film within a year after 'Meiyazhagan', but the deadline has been moved to January. I will make sure that there are no gaps like this from now on," he shared.

Prem Kumar plans on making a film without a heroine

Prem Kumar also spoke about his writing style and future ideas. “I like solitude, so writing films with fewer characters comes naturally. But I have started thinking beyond that. There is also a survival-adventure drama story with nine characters. Similarly, I am writing a love story where the heroine never appears in the film. "I don't push for innovation; I like stories to come naturally," the director said.
