New Delhi, May 26 -- Critically acclaimed filmmaker Mani Ratnam admitted that he cannot make comedy films despite how much he loves the genre.

Filmmaker Ratnam interacted with the media during the promotion of his upcoming film 'Thug Life' in Delhi, which also stars Kamal Haasan and Silambarasan TR in lead roles.

During a press conference on Monday, the 'Nayakan' director opened up about his favourite genre and said that even though he loves comedy films, he cannot make them. He chooses to only watch it.

"The genre I like most, I am not good at them, so I don't make them. I just watch it. He (Kamal Haasan) does comedy, and it's unbelievable the comedy films he does, and I can never make them. So, I just watch," said Mani Ratnam.
