Biography
K. S. Adhiyaman is an Indian film director and producer, who has directed Hindi and Tamil films.
Adhiyaman apprenticed under director K. Vijayan for eight films in the late 1980s, before deciding to become a filmmaker. After beginning his directorial career with a relatively unnoticed film in Thoorathu Sondham (1992), Adhiyaman wrote the dialogues for Suresh Menon's well-received films Pudhiya Mugam (1993) and Paasamalargal (1994) and subsequently bagged the opportunity to make another film.
Thotta Chinungi, a relationship drama featuring an ensemble cast of Raghuvaran, Karthik, Revathi, Devayani, Rohini, and Nagendra Prasad, won critical acclaim and performed well at the box office. He then featured as an actor in Thalaimurai (1998) directed by Saravana Pandian and won acclaim for his performance, while making another family drama titled Swarnamukhi which had Parthiban and Prakash Raj in leading roles.
In August 2018, Adhiyaman began production on a horror film titled Angel starring Udhayanidhi Stalin, Payal Rajput, and Anandhi. After eighty percent of the shoot was finished, the film became delayed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Udhayanidhi Stalin subsequently announced his retirement from films, citing that Maamannan (2023) would be his final release, and refused to cooperate with the producers to complete the project.
