In the 1970s, Robert Asirvatham and S. Rajasekar graduated as cameramen from the Madras Film Institute. They debuted as cinematographers with Kudisai (1979), a low budget film directed by Jayabharathi, also from the institute. Robert–Rajasekar's next film was to be Naalai Ulagam Namadhe, which was never completed. They were later hired to work in Oru Thalai Ragam (1980), which emerged a major success and a breakthrough in their career.[2] Robert–Rajasekar made their directorial debut with Palaivana Solai (1981), where they also wrote the screenplay (based on Rajasekar's story) and continued as cinematographers.[3] The film was a success, and they received more directorial offers. Their next directorial venture Kalyana Kalam (1982), however, became a box-office bomb.[4] After two years of no work, they were offered to direct Chinna Poove Mella Pesu (1987) which emerged a success, and revitalised their career.[2] In 2008, Robert–Rajasekar made their television debut by directing some episodes of Naanal.[5][6]
