Off to the Southern districts of Tamil Nadu he went to he went to picturize a story centered that had its base in the villages of Tamil Nadu.

Soon, Bharathirajaa was ready with 50 episodes of his new serial titled 'Thekathi Ponnu'. He came back to Chennai and presented the edited version of the serial that he had shot for the approval of the Kalainger.

After watching some parts of the 50-episode serial the Chief Minister asked the director to make some corrections here and there, for which the director consented and made them promptly.
