Arulnithi is painfully shy when it comes to braving the media blitzkrieg. The critical acclaim and positive reviews that his latest film Mounaguru is garnering has buoyed his spirits and this 24-year-old is all smiles.

Arulnithi is happy that his Shanthakumar directed Mounaguru has been appreciated. The critics have unanimously raved about the film, which is said to be path-breaking.

But the critical acclaim and positive reviews that the film garnered is not enough, as the film was just average at the box-office.

The trade says that the film was released along with some biggies, and did not get the kind of promotion it deserved.

However, Arulnithi is upbeat and says that he will not succumb to the lure of turning into another mass masala actor soon and will wait for the right script and will be signing up some interesting projects with good directors .
