Azhagam Perumal 是泰米尔语电影导演和演员。他曾担任导演玛尼·拉特南（Mani Ratnam）的助理，从塔拉帕蒂（Thalapathi）到伊鲁瓦尔（Iruvar），然后离开去制作他的独立项目。当 Mani Ratnam 拍摄 Alaipayuthey 时，他正在寻找像 Jagathy Sreekumar 这样的人来扮演古怪的房主，Azhagam Perumal 最终做到了，这是他的表演处女作。

他最初于 1998 年宣布自己的导演处女作《Mudhal Mudhalaaga》，这是一部由阿尔文德·斯瓦米和卡里斯玛·卡普尔担任主角的浪漫电影，但未能成功。然后，他于 1999 年开始拍摄电影 Udhaya，由 Vijay 和 Simran 担任主角，但这部电影出现了大量延误，与此同时，Azhagam Perumal 开始了另一部电影，浪漫喜剧 Dumm Dumm 由 R. Madhavan 和 Jyothika 担任主角，他的导师 Mani Ratnam 担任编剧和制片人。这部电影于 2001 年上映并取得了成功。在 Alaipayuthey 之后，他获得了表演机会，但他拒绝了，因为他想复兴和完成 Udhaya。

Azhagam Perumal is a Tamil film director and actor. He worked as an assistant to director Mani Ratnam from Thalapathi to Iruvar, before leaving to make his independent project. When Mani Ratnam was shooting Alaipayuthey, he was looking for someone like Jagathy Sreekumar to play the quirky house owner, which Azhagam Perumal eventually did, making his acting debut.

He had initially announced his directorial debut in 1998 as Mudhal Mudhalaaga, a romantic film featuring Arvind Swamy and Karisma Kapoor in the lead roles, which failed to take off. He then started shooting the film Udhaya in 1999 with Vijay and Simran in the lead roles but the film saw massive delays and Azhagam Perumal, meanwhile, began another film, the romantic comedy Dumm Dumm Dumm with R. Madhavan and Jyothika in the lead roles, in which his mentor Mani Ratnam worked as the screenwriter and producer. The film released in 2001 and was a success. After Alaipayuthey, he was offered acting offers but he declined as he wanted to revive and complete Udhaya.
