Career
[edit | edit source]Kumar began his career with the low-budget film Madhu, which was included in an anthology film called Bench Talkies. He later turned the short film into a feature film titled Meyaadha Maan (2017).[3][4] The film turned out to be a success and an important film in Vaibhav's career because the film was not a multistarrer and several of Vaibhav's successful films had only been multistarrers.[5] He went on to direct Aadai (2019), starring Amala Paul. The film released to mixed reviews, but highlighted an important aspect of society.[6][7][8] Kumar was signed as a co-writer to Lokesh Kanagaraj's Master. Regarding his decision of becoming a writer from a director, Kumar told The Times of India that Kanagaraj is his friend. Kumar started working with Lokesh again as a co-writer for Vijay's 67th film titled tentatively as Leo co-starring Trisha, Janany, Azeem and Sanjay Dutt as villain in the film.[9][10]
