Suhir Ponncchamy is the director of ‘On Path to Liberation’ and several other features and short films.  A Sri Lankan by birth,  and an American by choice,  Suhir is an amalgam of multi-cultures.  

We quote what he said in an interview with a prestigious magazine: "I am the best at casting. I know how to choose the right people. For me, it is the intelligence that is needed. Then comes screen presence. If a person is beautiful, the audience would watch him/her for some time. But after a point, they need more. But if a person is talented and can get into the skin of the role, maybe the audience would get bored for a minute. But, real talent attracts the audience and connects with them. So, that is why the audience never forgets talented people. But beauty fades away very soon". 

Well said Suhir!

He learned his craft from the Tisch School of the Arts. His movie Ahead Xing is available on Amazon Prime.
