Director Murugadoss is known for churning out movies inspired by current affairs that happen around us.

Murugadoss is now busy with Ghajini starring Surya and Asin.
Like in his previous film, Murugadoss has taken a socially relevant theme.

Going further ahead, Murugadoss has penned Asin's character inspired by Kalpana Chawla, the Indian astronaut who was killed in the Challenger rocket blast.
