S. S. Stanley is an Indian film director, who has directed Tamil films. He was active primarily as a film maker and a writer in the 2000s collaborating in ventures which often included Srikanth.[1]

Career

After working as an assistant director for twelve years, he made his first film April Maadhathil, a college love story starring Srikanth and Sneha, which became a box office success. His second venture, Pudhukottaiyilirundhu Saravanan featuring Dhanush, became an average grosser with Stanley suggesting the film's story was misunderstood by audiences.[2][3] He then began work on a film featuring Ravi Krishna and Sonia Agarwal for producer Krishnakanth, but financial troubles meant that the film was stalled and Stanley took a sabbatical.[4]

Stanley then worked again with Srikanth in his next two ventures, with the romantic drama Mercury Pookkal releasing first. His most recent directorial venture Kizhakku Kadalkarai Salai (2006) opened to poor reviews, with a critic noting it was "pathetic" and a "virtually invisible script".[5] Stanley then began to appear in films as an actor, notably playing C. N. Annadurai in the biographical film Periyar (2007).
