It is a position that took him close to two decades to reach, starting not on a film set but in the writers’ room of a television channel. Nelson completed a degree in visual communication and joined Vijay TV, now known as Star Vijay, as an assistant scriptwriter. It was an entry level role with little glamour attached to it, but it gave him a grounding in storytelling that would later shape his films. Over the years at the channel, he moved from writing to directing. Television, though, was never his destination. In 2010, Nelson Dilipkumar got his first real shot at directing a feature film, a project called Vettai Mannan, with Silambarasan, Jai, Hansika Motwani and Deeksha Seth in the cast and music composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja. By most accounts, it had the …
