Director Mysskin reveals Train climax starring Vijay Sethupathi, sparks fan confusion

At a recent event in Chennai, director Mysskin took centre stage to deliver what many called an unforgettable hour-long masterclass on filmmaking. Aimed at aspiring artists seeking to carve a path in cinema, the session delved into the struggles and philosophies of storytelling.

However, Mysskin's shocking disclosure of the whole plot—including the heartbreaking conclusion—of his upcoming movie Train, which stars Vijay Sethupathi, was what really took everyone by surprise.

Fans and industry insiders had differing opinions about Mysskin's decision to reveal important plot points, despite the fact that his passionate speech was widely commended for its candour and wisdom. Throughout the speech, Mysskin emphasised his conviction that the audience's time and money should be respected, saying, “As a filmmaker, you need to respect the time and money of the audience who paid Rs 150 or more to watch the film.”

He went on to describe how his inspiration for Train stemmed from childhood memories and train journeys. “I have travelled by train at least 300-600 times… Think about it, and it feels like a monstrous worm carrying children in its belly… That’s how I felt when I was a child. This metaphor inspired me to make the film…”
