Aviyal is an independent Tamil anthology film written and directed by six directors such as Alphonse Putharen, Shameer Sultan, Mohit Mehra, Lokesh Kanagaraj and Guru Smaran.
Actors including Nivin Pauly, Bobby Simha and Arjunan Nandakumar have featured in the short films included in the anthology. Produced by Karthik Subbaraj’s Stone Bench Creations, it is the second venture after Bench Talkies – The First Bench (2015).
The difficulty with short films is that you get only a small window of time to impress the audience. And thus, the concept and execution should be top notch for short films. The advantage is that the maker is not bound by commercial clutches as much as in mainstream movies.
