Cheran is definitely a director with a difference. Accepting that 'Pokkisham' did not receive the response that he expected, the director travelled all the way to Bishop Heber College Tirichy, to have a face to face session with the students to identify the flaws of the film.“Through ‘Pokkisham’ I wanted to show the soft and loyal love story of olden days. But these days, youths never like stories like this. They proved that their love stories are different from my love stories. I have understood that I should give films to satisfy this kind of crowd or else stay out of the way” at last the director figured out.
