Career

Director Linguswamy is one of the prominent directors of Kollywood film Industry. He hails from a village near Kumbakonam. Entering the tinsel world was not easy for this energetic talented man. Being born and brought up in a village atmosphere, he grew watching movies which was their ultimate entertainer. In his young age he used to watch all the movies of Director Bhagyaraj and was a great fan of his method of film making and screen play. After much struggle he joined as an assistant director to director A. Venkatesan for his Tamil film Mahaprabhu and followed in his next film Selva. He met so many obstacles to make his debut film. He made his debut Tamil film Anandam. A complete family entertainer with mega star Mammootty, he tasted huge success. He is particular about having a style of his own and is also keen on not being repetitive in his subjects. The contrast between Anandam and his second flick Run is a typical example.

Apart from directing he produces films with his banner Thirupathy Films.
