He is hailed as one of the brightest Tamil directors after the unprecedented success of his first film, Chennai 600028. We're talking about Venkat Prabhu, the fimmaker who got lucky with his second film, Saroja, as well.

Now, the director has been signed by Warner Brothers and Soundarya Rajnikanth's [Images] Ocher Studios to make a film called Goa [Images], to be shot in its namesake's pristine beaches.

His fans got a chance to discuss his films during a chat on Monday. For those who missed the chat, here's what transpired.

anniyan asked, sir pichiteenga 2 films la.. congrats
Venkatprabhu answers, Thank you very much.


kum asked, hi how r u sir, your films are nice..super i think u have acted in some films right.. pls...do films like saroja good luck
Venkatprabhu answers, Yes, sure.


kesavaraj asked, what is the star cast of GOA
Venkatprabhu answers, It's not yet finalised.


AP asked, Venkat, What inspires you to do hilarious movies..
Venkatprabhu answers, My dad.


sknaa asked, How long was your wait to taste your first success
Venkatprabhu answers, 30 years.


thiagarajan asked, dear mr Venkat prabhu,chennai 600028 &saroja new genre flims with good screen play.we want lot more vareity of films
Venkatprabhu answers, I will do my best.


venkat_thiru@rediffmail.com asked, U should have given performing roles to jayaram and prakashraj.they both are grt actors and they were not used up to their quality.
Venkatprabhu answers, They played their character, that's all.


mahendran asked, Hai Venkat the cinematography for ur both films are great and suits the script. Ch28 is a reality oriented film where the camera work makes everyone to feel like their own story and in Saroja camera work is very rich. Many directors failed when handling these kind of subject i think the reason behind this success is U throughly read our audience . From the very beginning to end the film is thriller horrorand also very humorous which is the key for the success. Totally it is total packageof a mysterious story with a humourous screenplay. Goodluck for ur future project.
Venkatprabhu answers, Thanks very much, Mahendran.


jac_143 asked, Dear Sirs Greetings, Ur films(Chennai 600028,Saroja)is a milestone for ur career.Whats ur next venture.Kindly do direct Sarathkumar.Awaiting for ur reply..........
Venkatprabhu answers,  Thanks very much. If I have a script for him, yes certainly.


kesavaraj asked, hi venkatprabhu when we can expect the movie with ajit
Venkatprabhu answers, Very soon.


NachiManickam asked, Hi Venkat Prabhu' Greetings! I have seen both your movies and I like your film making style.I am also a great fan of Mohanlal.Would suggest that you make a tamil movie with him in the lead with your youngsters in supporting roles.All the best!
Venkatprabhu answers, Thanks very much. Why not?


nadendla asked, i want to work with you i am a softeare engineer i really would like to meet you please tell me the procedure
Venkatprabhu answers, You are in a good job. So why?


arvind asked, Hi Venkat, You have delivered a yet another entertaining movie...How interesting is it going to be with your upcoming project with warner brothers and soundarya rajnikanth? Now the hype is more, we are expecting a different tale from you now.
Venkatprabhu answers, I will do my best. It's movie like in the American Pie genre.


thilak4ever asked, Hi Venkat Prabhu, I haven't seen Saroja yet. But Chennai-28 was the best film of 2007. It was nostalgic, and nice to see a seamless narrative without any cliched message in the film. It's good that you brought a different kind of "youth" film, albeit based on street cricket. Ok, here goes my question: Would you work with saleable stars like Rajini, Ajith or vijay in future? Or, do you intend to only cast "actors" who fit the characters in your script. And, when will you stop casting Premji in your films? Oray mokkai poduraar. Okay I was just kidding. And, would you work with Raaja Sr. or Rahman in future?
Venkatprabhu answers, Hey thanks. Well, if I have a script for the biggies I will surely cast them. Premgi, hmmm can't be with him can't be without him. I'd love to work with my uncle, but am too scared to tell him a situation and get a song. But one day I will.


SAKUM asked, ur experience with prakash rai??
Venkatprabhu answers, Awesome actor, brother, friend and human being.


venkat_thiru@rediffmail.com asked, What you think about jayaram's character in your movie.i dont think so there any difference between Dham dhoom and saroja.
Venkatprabhu answers, Yeah it was very similar. I didn't know Dham Dhoom's script, even Jayaram sir didn't tell me :-(


iyerma asked, Venkat prabhu, I am eagerly looking forward your entry into bollywood since there is no capable director like you. hats off to you for beautiful two products so far.
Venkatprabhu answers, God bless you.


rajmohan asked, direct the flims for young kutties
Venkatprabhu answers, That will be my dream project.


Elavazhagan asked, "yaar sir indha figure?" from Premji to Saran was a masterstroke in the movie
Venkatprabhu answers, Thank you.


MARIO asked, GIVE US AN IDEA WHAT YOUR NEXT FILM WILL BE ABOUT, SO THAT WE ALL WILL BE EAGERLY WAITING FOR IT.ONCE AGAIN CONGRATS AND ALL THE BEST DO NOT MOVE AWAY FROM SPB. CHARAN
Venkatprabhu answers, My next film is Goa. It will surely be fun, fun and more fun. I can never leave Charan.


ramakrishnan1979@rediffmail.com asked, Hi Mr. VenkatPrabhu, Saroja is a master piece. I enjoyed each and every bit of it. After a long time I laughed out loud in the theatre. The screenplay is exceptional and the song sequence jells well with the script. I watched in theatre 3 times. I will buy the original DVD once it is released and add to my collections. Esp the comedy track that goes with the story line. I appreciate the movie release time, artist selection, lyrics esp..kodaana kodi. Your style of making is simply rocking. Just stick to it. Good Luck for your future assignments.
