Basil Joseph is a new director in Malayalam cinema, and now Basil is telling how the actor got into the cinema, the revelation of the actor was during an interview. It was Vineeth Srinivasan who got me started in cinema, I sent the shorts and other things I had done to many people through social media, only Vineeth Srinivasan replied after seeing it and Vineeth Tanna was called as assistant director for the film Tira .
When he replied to my message, I asked him if there was a chance to be an assistant director. He said, “I’m not always a movie person, let me see.” About eight months later I sent a message asking if I still wanted to continue as Deputy Director. I thought then that he hadn’t forgotten me yet. So I went to Chennai, met him and talked to him. Later, he was part of the film Tira. Basil also says that Vineeth is also my guru.
