My day started bad when I heard that the legendary writer Sujatha has passed away.
Sujatha was a versatile Tamil writer. He started with short stories and novels. His story narration is one of a kind and very unique. His caliber in writing attracted the tamil film industry and there was no stopping him from that point. He has influenced the great actor kamal haasan a lot and many leading top notch directors like mani rathnam and Shankar. In fact Rajini got his superstar caption only after acting in the movie Priya, which was totally made out of Sujathas story and screenplay. Being an engineering student himself, his attachment towards computers was at height and he had the vision and courage to change the trend of cinema. En iniya iyanthira and Kamals vikram are some examples. He also has answered to many Science FAQs in popular columns, which used to be published in magazines like Junior Vikatan. It later got compiled as a separate book with the title, "Yaen, Etharku, Eppadi".
Story and scriptwriting forms the base of any movie. Hollywood concentrates on this department big time and knows its value for a movie to rock the box office. Night Shyamalan was paid more than 5 million dollars for some of his story and narration alone. Tamil cinema has always been a stand out from other Regioninal films in India and enough credit goes to Sujatha. That said, tamil cinema has now lost the writer who could have made much more wonders through technological and advanced scripts. Without a doubt, sujathas demise should have brought in tsunami to the Robot project team and it is going to take a hell a lot of effort to fill the gap .
With technology at its peak, it would have been the best time for Sujatha to exploit with his stories but god has exploited him for narrating stories in heaven. May his soul rest in peace.
