Early life

[edit | edit source]

He is a native of Oothukadu, Tamil Nadu, India. He completed a bachelor of commerce degree and finished post-graduate studies in political science.[5] He earned his moniker Yugi from college after being inspired by the character from the Sanskrit play Vasavadatta.[6]

He was awarded a gold medal during his time at the Film and Television Institute of Tamil Nadu for his student project film, The Rhetoric of the Continuity, which had the distinction of being the only Indian film selected among 45 other international entries at the 1984 International Film Festival of India in New Delhi and Music, courtesy of Satyajit Ray.[5][6]

Career

[edit | edit source]

He directed two films, Kavithai Paada Neramillai and Maathangal Ezhu.[5][6] He acted in the lead in the Italian English short film Pidgin (1994).[7] He distributed Shekar Kapur's Bandit Queen in Tamil Nadu. He attempted to import the film Erotic Tales to India, but was stopped by the censor board.[6]

He played one of the leads in the comedy film Panchatanthiram (2002) and played an important role of a constable in Ramanaa (2002). Despite the success of Panchatanthiram, Yugi Sethu cited a lack of interest in comedy films.[6] He wrote the story for K. S. Ravikumar's Tamil film Villain, starring Ajith Kumar.[8]
