Create your own Director's Desk Mat on Fully Filmy: https://bit.ly/4rXrqYW 10 years ago, Karthik Subbaraj's 'Iraivi' inspired me to make my very first movie review. A decade later, I finally got to sit down with him for an in-depth conversation about his latest film, Dorothy, and his journey as a filmmaker. From the freedom of making films without big stars to the challenges of capturing childhood friendship, we explore the creative choices, influences and filmmaking process behind *Dorothy*. Karthik opens up about his writing process, working with Ilaiyaraaja, Santhosh Narayanan and Anirudh, directing actors, visual storytelling, and the films and filmmakers who have shaped his cinematic sensibilities — including Bruce Lee and Quentin Tarantino. We also discuss how Tamil cinema audiences have evolved, the difference between making a big-budget star film and a smaller, personal film, and what aspiring filmmakers can learn from his journey. A conversation about cinema, friendship, storytelling, creative freedom, and everything in between. #KarthikSubbaraj #Dorothy #Iraivi #FullyFilmy #TamilCinema Love Movies?
