Parthiban whose Otha Cheruppu Size 7 figures as an sentry ion the ongoing IFFI in Goa is a Tamil film which he has not only written but also produced and directed besides acting as a one man performer in it. It is something like Sunil Dutt had made over six decades ago- Yaadein, Parthiban confesses.

Two films in which Parthiban had acted in Tamil have already been made as successful remakes in Hindi. His Tamil film Puthiya Pathai was remade as Benaam Badshah while his Tamil film Ulle Veliye was remain into Mr Azad. Ironically both the films starred Anil Kapoor in the lead.

Parthiban adds that though he looks at Rajanikant's cinematic journey as a great pone, he feels honestly that Rajanikant has been the same in each and every film in which he had acted till date except perhaps Mullum Malarum (Tamil) in which he had really acted.

Parthiban who had started as an assistant to filmmakers like Bhagyaraj, Selvaraj etc has acted in nearly 60 films in Tamil besides directing as many as 14 films in Tamil for the last 30 years. Parthiban confesses that acting and directing are not great shakes for him but acting is definitely tough. "Art is not just making money. A film should scare me when I set out to make it or else I am not inclined to make it at all.

His Tamil film Otha Seruppu Size 7 has already been sold to Netflix who approached him with the offer to buy it when actors like Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan praised its trailers even before the release of the film which was made on a budget of 4 crores in a total  span of 70 days though it is a one man show. Parthiban adds that he has also sent the film to the Oscars as an Independent entry when the Federation of Films , India did not bother to select his film and opted to send the Hindi film Gully boys which is not an original film unlike his film which is an original film.
