Not one to give up, Soudarya's directorial debut happened with Kochadaiiyaan.
Despite extensive post-production work using the motion-capture technology, Kochadaiiyaan could not live up to expectations as it lacked that trademark style and panache of other Rajini films.
In a recent interview to
The Hindu, Soundarya reveled in her second directorial venture,"I’ve already started working on my next script. I’m stepping away from animation, quite consciously. My upcoming film will be a romantic comedy and I’m working closely with my brother-in-law (actor Dhanush} on the script. Hopefully, it will all come together soon".
