Parthiban and experiments go hand in hand ever since he made his debut as actor-director with 'Puthiya Paathai' way back in 1989. He has especially received high critical acclaim for 'Housefull' set entirely in a movie theater, 'Kathai Thiraikadhai Vasanam Iyakkam' that did not have a story and 'Otha Seruppu' that had only one actor throughout.

He has continued in the same vein with his latest film 'Iravin Nizhal' touted as the world's first non linear single shot film. The screenplay deals with a fifty year old man's fall from grace tracing his descent from a new born child to his current age. The innovative idea and the cast and crew's hardwork is being praised by fans.

Meanwhile word is out that Parthiban has the idea to make a new movie without a single actor in it. He is apparently planning to tell a story with only animals and birds. There have been numerous Hollywood movies, mostly in animation that has animals as the main cast.

But Parthiban is planning to shoot his film live with real animals which is also said to be a first of its kind attempt in world cinema. Sources say that the veteran filmmaker has already started the scripting and will soon announce the project.
