'''Thakkali Srinivasan''' is an [[Indian people|Indian]] film director, musician and producer who has worked on Tamil films, often involving horror or murder mystery plotlines.

==Career==
Thakkali Srinivasan began his career off as a producer and made the science fiction film ''[[Nalaya Manithan]]'' (1989) directed by [[Velu Prabhakaran]]. The success of the film prompted him to produce a sequel titled ''[[Adhisaya Manithan]]'' (1990) with a different cast, and the project did not perform as well commercially. He had also composed music for the films, along with Premi, forming the Premi-Srini duo largely supported by another music director [[Manachanallur Giridharan]]. Subsequently, he directed two films in the 1990s, the horror film ''[[Jenma Natchathiram]]'' (1991) with [[Nassar (actor)|Nassar]] and the murder mystery film, ''[[Witness (1995 film)|Witness]]'' (1995) with [[Raghuvaran]] in the lead role. He began work on the production of a [[Pandiarajan]]-starrer titled ''Maaruvedam'' in the late 1990s, but the film was later shelved.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.indolink.com/tamil/cinema/Specials/97/Oct/a-z/atoz-4.htm |title=A-Z (IV) |work=Indolink Tamil |accessdate=2014-04-19 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130927193804/http://www.indolink.com/tamil/cinema/Specials/97/Oct/a-z/atoz-4.htm |archivedate=27 September 2013 |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

In 2001, he made ''[[Asokavanam (2001 film)|Asokavanam]]'', another murder mystery film featuring [[Livingston (actor)|Livignston]], [[Sriman (actor)|Sriman]] and [[Riyaz Khan]] and won mixed reviews for his work. A critic from [[The Hindu]] noted that "the script is good in the first half but sags in the second".<ref>[https://archive.today/20171109181124/http://www.thehindu.com/2001/10/19/stories/09190222.htm ]</ref> He later began working on a film titled ''[[Satrumun Kidaitha Thagaval]]'' (2009) featuring [[Kanal Kannan]], but was replaced midway through production by a debutant director, Bhuvanai Kannan.<ref>http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news/nov-07-03/21-11-07-bharathi.html</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170218070108/http://www.sify.com/movies/kanal-kannan-turns-hero-news-tamil-kkfudBaidejsi.html sify.com]</ref> His latest release was ''[[Aduthathu]]'' (2011), a thriller about reality show contestants on a desert island, starring Sriman in the lead role.<ref>http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/Sriman-in-Aduthathu/articleshow/9756332.cms</ref><ref>http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/itsy-bitsy/article1999098.ece</ref>
