Everyone appreciates good cinema: Arun Kumar

Arun Kumar, the director of Ee Adutha Kalathu, says it is a misconception that the audience will accept only certain films which follows a formula.
"The Malayali audience is very intelligent. Those who produce formula movies and expect them to be a success are those who don't know the pulse of the audience. There is no such thing as an upper class and lower class audience.Everyone appreciates good cinema, ultimately it depends on how you make a film," says the director, who is on his second outing after Cocktail. "Don't complicate things in a movie and don't try to make fools of the audience."
The reason why good films were made in the past is that there were no norms then. Movies of the past reflected real life, he says.
Arun attributes the success of Ee Adutha Kalathu to the fact that he hasn't tried to rope in heroes and heroines. " There are only characters in the movie, no larger than life figures. The casting was done after completing the script. The audience saw the characters and not the actors."
