Hari is a Tamil film director, best known for his action-masala films. As of 2013, he has directed twelve films.... He first joined as an assistant and gained experience working with directors Natraj in Valli, Nassar in Avatharam and Alex Pandian. Later he assisted K. Balachander in his film Kalki and worked as an associate director with Saran in films Amarkalam and Parthen Rasithen..... His first film, in 2002, was Thamizh with Prashanth and Simran. Film critic Balaji commented that it was "one of the few movies in recent times where a lot of importance seems to have been attached to the script. In spite of the flimsy story and routine screenplay where a youth grows to be a 'dada', the dialogs elevate the quality of the movie and make it very enjoyable".... His second film Saamy under Kavithaalaya banner starred Vikram. It was named the year's biggest hit, grossing INR 160 million. Its success led to remakes in Telugu (Lakshmi Narasimha), Kannada (Ayya) and Hindi languages (Policegiri).[ His next two films Kovil with Silambarasan and Arul also starred Vikram. In 2005, he made Ayya starring Sarathkumar, which introduced Nayantara to Tamil cinema. His next film was Aaru with Suriya in 2005. In 2007, he directed two films, Thaamirabharani with Vishal Krishna and Vel with Suriya. In 2008, he directed Seval with Bharath. Ayyappa Prasad from Nowrunning.com stated that Hari "panders to the taste of his rural audience all the way, but the movie is bound to disappoint city-dwellers since neither the story nor its treatment appeal to anyone with an IQ quotient higher than the least educated village wastrel"... In 2010 Hari directed his tenth film, Singam with Suriya, marking their third collaboration. The film was one of the top box office films of the year,.. although reviewers identified it as a standard masala entertainer.... Following its success, the film was remade in Hindi (as Singham), Kannada (as Kempe Gowda) ... After directing Venghai, a film with Dhanu
