'''Padmamagan''' is an [[India]]n film director, who has directed Tamil films. After making his debut in 2003 with ''Pallavan'', he has gone on to make other ventures including ''[[Ammuvagiya Naan]]'' and ''[[Netru Indru]]''.<br />
<br />
==Career==<br />
Padmamagan associated with producer Rufus Parker and the duo chose to make a commercial film to begin their film careers; ''Pallavan'' (2003) released with little publicity and did not perform well at the box office. With Parker, he then began work on ''[[Ammuvagiya Naan]]'' (2007), which told the story of a commercial sex worker transforming herself into a housewife. Starring [[R. Parthiepan|Parthiban]] and [[Bharathi (Tamil actress)|Bharathi]], the film opened to positive reviews with a critic noting "writer-director Padma Magan has come out with a movie that augers well for the future of Tamil Cinema".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140422183421/http://www.sify.com/movies/ammuvagiya-naan-review-tamil-14518996.html sify.com]</ref> The film was later screened at the 2007 [[International Film Festival of India]] in Goa, becoming the first Tamil venture since ''[[Nayakan]]'' (1987) to achieve such a feat.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20071209125047/http://www.hindu.com/fr/2007/12/07/stories/2007120750020100.htm ]</ref> Despite the success of the film, Padmamagan failed to get producers for his next planned project, that revolving around the life of a seven-year-old child. He revealed that such failure to attract investors, made him give up a career in cinema and turned him into an alcoholic.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/tamil/article1524593.ece%3Fservice%3Dprint+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk|title='Thriller' of a comeback film}}</ref><br />
