With that theme in mind, I set out to write a fresh film. My interpretation of PK was the god that created us versus the god we have created. I had wanted to buy the Tamil remake rights to PK, but it would have cost me the entire budget of my film. ‘Mookuthi Amman’ is being compared to Rajkumar Hirani’s ‘PK’ (2014). Excerpts from an interview with Scroll.in. Since 2018, Balaji has had a parallel career as a Tamil cricket commentator for the Indian Premier League. His first leading role was in the 2019 political satire LKG, which he also wrote.
Co-directed with NJ Saravanan, the movie will be streamed on Disney+ Hotstar on November 14.Ī radio jockey-turned actor, Balaji has appeared in Naanum Rowdy Dhaan (2015) and Kaatru Veliyidai (2017). Mookuthi Amman stars Nayanthara as the goddess with the nose ring, Balaji as journalist Engels, Urvashi as Engels’s mother, and Ajay Ghosh as the crooked godman Bhagavathi Baba. “It’s an emotional family film where a struggling family encounters the Amman goddess.” “Just because I am known for being a satirist, people think that this is also a satire,” Balaji explained.
Tamil presenter and actor RJ Balaji’s directorial debut Mookuthi Amman might be funny, but it’s not a satire.
