Elan is an Indian film director, screenwriter and lyricist who predominantly works in the Tamil film industry.[1]
Personal life
[edit | edit source]Elan was making short films since he finished his schooling in 2007.[2] He is the son of Stills Pandian, a photographer.[3]
Career
[edit | edit source]In 2017, he worked on Graghanam starring Krishna and Chandran. It was a thriller film about the happenings of a night. The film, however, remains unreleased.[4][5] After completing a love story script, he began working on the next one without reaching out to producers. By chance, a friend of Yuvan Shankar Raja asked if he had any romance scripts, leading to Elan's debut directorial, Pyaar Prema Kaadhal (2018).[2] In celebration of Pyaar Prema Kaadhal's success, Yuvan Shankar Raja gifted Elan a luxury car.[6] The film was later remade in Telugu as Urvasivo Rakshasivo (2022).[7] After the collaboration on Pyaar Prema Kaadhal (2018) with Harish Kalyan, Elan was reported to collaborate with Harish again for his next directorial in 2019.[8] In August 2023, Kavin, was reported to replace Harish for the lead role and the principal photography began on 1 June 2023 in Chennai.[9][10] In an interview, Elan stated that "Vaaranam Aayiram was one of my biggest inspirations to make Star." and that it was a tribute to his father.[11]
