He also introduced a new terminology for a director in tamil cinema "SCRIPT-SHOTS-DIRECTION : BANDI SAROJ KUMAR". He intially approached actor SURYA with the script and SURYA was well impressed with the director and gave an immediate green signal, by post-phoning his AYAN. But a few visual differences between the actor and director, made Saroj Kumar to come out of it, as he is well known as a never-compromising young director. Not just SURYA, there were several stars who were well behind BANDI SAROJ KUMAR. Not just Kollywood stars, even stars from Tollywood too. He finally decided to make PORKKALAM with KISHORE. Whole industry was shocked with the announcement, and was waiting to see th output of this gutsy young director.

According to SAROJ KUMAR, a director should be well thorough with all the 24 crafts in cinema including CINEMATOGRAPHY[lighting, lens and frame composition], EDITING, ART, MUSIC, PERFORMANCES, etc. Many celebrities appreciated his stunning visual treat in PORKKALAM. In very younger age of his, he achieved a unique respectable position in TAMIZH CINEMA INDUSTRY, as a creative and commanding director. INDIAN EXPRESS applauded his vision and porkkalam, which was published all over south india. http://baradwajrangan.wordpress.com/2010/02/06/between-reviews-different-strokes/ Once in his interview, when the anchor asked for the reason to choose a villain as his film's protagonist, BANDI SAROJ KUMAR replied that he always do love villains as he himself is a villain for his crew members [from light man to producer], in commanding and extracting work according to his vision at the time of shoot. He also told that he is in the cinema industry to be a path-breaker for the coming revolutionary generation of film makers. His bold and honest statements always attracted the media, as he said that he never believes in stars and he is here to make stars. He also added that PORKKALAM was made at the cost of 3.5 crore, but his vision is what made it look like film made of 6crores. VIJAY TV aquired satellite rights of PORKKALAM for 1.5 crores, much before it's release, just because of the trailers which created so much expectations. website reviews on BANDI SAROJ KUMAR http://www.kollywoodtoday.com/tag/director-bandi-saroj-kumar/ http://baradwajrangan.wordpress.com/2010/02/06/between-reviews-different-strokes/ http://www.yasni.com/saroj+kumar/check+people/Bandi 'Bold text'
