But, due to his craze for movies, he chose direction as his profession, leaving back his career in the software field. His debut movie Passenger was a Blockbuster, through which Ranjith proved that he is having his career in movies only. Later came movies like Arjunan Sakshi and Molly Aunty Rocks, which again proved the director's caliber. All these films bore some instincts which makes one feel that it can happen to a common man. His latest release Punyalan Agarbattis also falls into the same category. Ranjith says that Punyalan Agarbattis is based on a real life incident that has happened to one of his close relation. From then, Ranjith wanted to do a film on the story, but he did not get the opportunity for the same.Now Ranjith is happy that his dream is finally hitting the screens today as Punyalan Agarbattis.
