In the first part of our podcast on the recent spy-thriller Sardar, host Adithya Muthukumar and regular Sabarish Sankaran talk to its director and one of five writers: P.S. Mithran. We had a fun and interesting conversation about the origins of this film, his thought process in general, the writing process behind this and his earlier feature films Irumbu Thirai and Hero, the importance of casting, the beauty of the process behind creating mind-blowing action, how he manages to strike a balance between making a film genre-specific and commercial, and more. Enjoy!
