The filmmaker is known for his strong voice against caste based oppression, a recurrent theme in his artworks. Even in 'Thangalaan' there's an element of caste, while it touches upon Buddhism as well. The director spoke with IANS, and shared that the social structure of India which is deeply entrenched in Politics gives no choice to the artistes except to be political. He told IANS,“For me, everything is political. In India, the whole system is based on politics. We need to understand that we follow indifference given the caste system, and the class system. We are a country which follows customs and rituals under a hierarchy”. He further mentioned that we as Indians are very much separated about our thoughts, religious things and caste. In that sense, every single entity is washed by the sands of time. The Hindi version of 'Thangalaan', produced by Studio Green is currently playing in theatres.

01:21story, the tree is not only tree, yeah, in every village has some tree, but tree has
01:27a lot of stories. If you go and touch that root and you can try to, yeah, it's true.
01:40I cannot see only tree, I cannot see only the villages like mud and like, yeah, every
01:45mud soil and like, yeah, and there are a lot of stories begin that and like. So, that

02:01I want to tell to the people, how people suffered by that any form of differentiates a different
02:08thing. So, in my through my art, if I'm going to drawing, if I'm going to speak, if I'm
02:14going to sing, if I'm going to do a movie and if I'm going to write, definitely it's
02:20that will be kind of a political statement. I don't want to be like a preacher, like I

02:35that should be like a man, people, art, art only, like we can easily, we can connect and
02:44emote and like we'll cry and without knowing anything, we just, we can, we can hear any

03:35what I learned from that society, what I'll get from that things, I wanted to give back to the
03:41society through my art.
