There is a lot of scope to explore science fiction, says R Ravikumar

Ayalaan's director, R Ravikumar who debuted with the 2015 science fiction drama Indru Netru Naalai, has always been fascinated by the underexplored sci-fi genre. “I think I have a lot to explore in this field. But at the same time, I have many questions, since it's a complicated genre to film. However, I like trying out things that are generally deemed impossible. When something is called difficult, it makes me excited to work on it and make it happen. And moreover, it gives me a lot of scope to try and experiment,” the director said. He revealed that his upcoming film with Suriya is also in the same genre.
