The 1970s also saw the influence of the art cinema movement. Directors like J. Mahendran (not to be confused with Mahendran) and Bharathiraja brought rural Tamil Nadu to the forefront. Bharathiraja’s 16 Vayathinile (1977), starring a young Kamal Haasan, Sridevi, and Rajinikanth, shattered the urban, sophisticated mold of Tamil cinema.
