From that five members, one man gives him a room to stay, But he tells one condition that he wants to stay during day time. Actually that room belongs to a lady called Swathi, who works in a software company.

Liked by frankness, Swathi lets him stay in her house (in her absence). They become good roommates by exchanging letters and cute things, though they never bother to see each other.

Swathi comes to know that Anil rejected her because of Anand. Atlast Anil married her and they both live a happy life.

Venkat Prabhu was born in 7th November, 1975 in Chennai.After completing his music degree from Trinity College of Music in London, he wanted to become a music director like his father but he couldn't succeed in becoming a music director and started his career in the tamil film industry as a singer.He acted in a couple of tv shows like Kundakka Mandakka which was directed by his father and Idho Boopalam and Thedathey Tholaindhu Povai. He also directed one comedy show in Singapore.Then he slowly moved into acting line as a character artist rather than doing hero roles.He acted in about ten movies before he could direct his debut movie.Now let us see the movies under the direction of Venkat Prabhu.

His debut movie was Chennai 600028 which was produced by his close friend S. P. B. Charan in 2007.The movie is a sports related movie with romance and comedy mixed in it.The cast of Chennai 600028 is too long for the reason that it doesn't focus on a single hero concept.The movie features Premji Amaran,Jai, Shiva,Nithin Sathya, Prasanna, Aravind Akash, Ajay Raj, Ranjith, Arun, Karthik and Vijay Vasanth in the lead roles along with Vijayalakshmi and Christine Zedek making their debut movies.The main theme of Chennai 600028 is about two street cricket teams in the names of Sharks and Royapuram Rockers fighting of who is strong among them.The movie also covers love, fight, comedy and friendship.The music of Chennai 600028 by Yuvan Shankar Raja and background score by Premji Amaran was mind-blowing.The songs in the movie rocked especially 'Jalsa' song and 'Ulle Vaa' song at their best.But the song that rocked the whole Tamil Nadu was 'Saroja Saman Nikalo'. Chennai 600028 was one of the biggest blockbusters in 2007 with a collection of approximately $2 million at the box office.No one expected the movie to become a blockbuster in the box office for the reasons like the movie dealing with debutants and taking street cricket as the main theme.This movie won the Vijay Award for Best Find of the Year.

 

Venkat Prabhu's second movie was 'SAROJA' produced by T.Shiva under the banner Amma Creations and distributed by Pyramid Saimira.The movie was also made in Telugu. After the success of Chennai 600028 Venkat Prabhu decided to go with comedy based movie.But this time his second movie "Saroja" was a thriller based comedy movie with SPB.Charan, Shiva, Premji Amaren and Vaibhav Reddy in the lead role along with Vega Tamotia.The movie also stars Jayaram, Prakash Raj, Sampath Raj, Nagendran and Kajal Aggarwal.The movie is all the happenings in a day that coincides with each another.On side it deals with four friends who find their way to a mysterious place by a accident.On the other side daughter of a industrialist is being kidnapped.This two incidents happens separately and they travel in their direcation.The remaining half of the movie tells how friends happen to meet the girl and find their way out of the mysterious place. The camera by Sakthi Saravanan was excellent and the major part of the movie was taken in night time.Music by Yuvan Shankar Raja was superb especially for the background.The sound track has six songs out of which 'Kodaana Kodi', 'Nimirindhu Nil' songs was mindblowing.It was released in 2008.

 

Venkat Prabhu's third movie is 'GOA' which is under production and it is expected to release in Jan 2010.Goa is produced by Soundarya Rajinikanth under the banner Ocher Studios.The audio is expected to release on dec 23.

Emily Hubley's film The Toe Tactic is a story of a person's attempt to come to terms with her past and the inevitable decisions that the present forces on her. And it does so by adding animation with live action to present a parallel reality.

The Toe Tactic revolves around Mona peek who is in her mid twenties. The news that her mother has sold her childhood home upsets her as she has some beautiful memories of her late father in that house. It was also here in this house where her father's ashes were scattered and his bone, which Mona found, had been buried in the garden. Mona lands up in her old house and her action sets off a card game by four animated cannies that dwell in an alternative reality. The card game resembles the game of Tic-Tac- Toe. It is also the game that Mona played with her late father.

She is mistaken for a burglar by her neighbour  and when asked for identification, she realizes her wallet is suddenly gone .The wallet is not lost, Instead it is stolen by one of the animated canines. As the dogs continue to play the game, Mona carries on with her life. At times, the dogs take control of her life, which sparks of different encounters with the Elevator Man and her employer,Victoria Hadaway.

For Emily Hubley, directing her first feature film was a big high. "My original concept was to make a live action film with  a few animated "reveries" or intermissions. The final combination again come about after may revisions. My short films often combine live photography with animated elements in an effort to convey the layered experience of living. The Toe Tactic is an extension of that in a more playful and hopefully entertaining way. The idea is that the dogs exist in a parallel world that is wedged somewhere between our molecules. They're not of our reality,"says Hubley.
