Though Amala Paul rose to fame with Mynaa, the actual person who introduced Amala Paul to Kollywood was director G. Krishnan. A former sound engineer introduced the most sought after heroine Amala Paul with his film Vikadakavi. Being a low-budget production, the film had a limited release and so it presented a below average performance in the theatres.

Incidentally, Amala Paul and Vidharth starring Mynaa released prior to Vikadakavi. The film turned out to be a super hit and Amala Paul rose to fame within a short period of time. Now, director G. Krishnan is all set for the release of his upcoming film Kurangu Kaila Poo Maalai produced by Sai Ameer Productions.
