Early life
Nalan Kumarasamy aka Arul did schooling in Campion, Trichy; B.E (Mechanical Engineering) in Sri Venkateswara College of Engineering (SVCE); and M.Tech in SASTRA University (Logistics Management). During his college days he was active in cultural events and participated in IIT Sarang.
Career
Nalan was into event management and real estate when he heard about Naalaya Iyakunar. There were just ten days to the deadline. So he turned it meta and made a short called Oru Padam Edukkanum about a filmmaker with a deadline. He went on to make seven more short films. Nenjukku Neethi, his entry for the final round, made him first prize winner of season 1.
In 2013, he made his debut as a director with the movie Soodhu Kavvum. The film's main concept is about how baloney has engulfed people's day-to-day life and modern society. It features Vijay Sethupathi and Sanchita Shetty in the leads. It was released on 1 May to universal acclaim from critics and became a blockbuster. Soodhu Kavvum was selected for screening in the Zurich Film Festival, being the only Tamil film of 2013 to be screened there.
In 2016 he made a romantic comedy-drama film Kadhalum Kadanthu Pogum (Love, too, shall pass). It was an official remake of the Korean film My Dear Desperado. The film released on March 2016 with positive reviews from critics and became a box office hit.
