A. Backer, Rajendran made his directorial debut with Venal (1982).
From his first film to his latest one, Edavappathy (2016), Rajendran
has been consistent with the quality of his films, not surrendering to
market forces even while using the form and stars of popular cinema.An

his political orientation into his screen work: his 1985 film
Meenamasithile Sooryan was about the anti-feudal upheaval of the 1940s
in Kerala from a Communist viewpoint.
