Career
Career
In the 1990s, Erode Soundar regularly collaborated with director K. S. Ravikumar on village action films including Cheran Pandiyan (1991), Putham Pudhu Payanam (1991) and Nattamai (1994). The success of Cheran Pandiyan and Nattamai prompted the films to be remade in several languages including Hindi, Telugu, Kannada and Bengali. He also won the Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Story Writer award for both films, while also securing the Best Dialogue Writer award for Cheran Pandiyan. Although he worked primarily as a writer, he also directed a few films including Mudhal Seethanam (1992), where he also acted in a supporting role. His close association with Sarathkumar through K. S. Ravikumar's films, also garnered him the opportunity to direct the actor in Simmarasi (1998). His final film, Ayya Ullen Ayya (2020), had a low profile release and featured his grandson Kabilesh in the lead role.
