Gautham is Bollywood bound
Following directors Manirathinam and Bharathiraja, it is now Gowtham Menon, who is all set to go to Bollywood. The sought-after director in Tamil cinema would be directing a Hindi cinema early next year starring Saif Ali Khan in the prominent role. Gowtham, who started his career with Minnalae shot to fame with Khaaka Khaaka. His recent Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu starred Kamal Haasan as the hero managed a 100-day run. Gowtham, who is directing Suriya again for a movie titled Vaaranam Aayiram, is awaiting the release of Pachai Kili Murthusaram which stars Sarath Kumar and Jyothika. The director had narrated a story to Saif Ali Khan recently. Impressed with the action--packed story, the actor has agreed to be part of the film.
Gautham on Pachai Kili Muthucharam
Pachai Kili Muthucharam is expected to underline yet again Gautham Menon's talent for a gritty and an urban thriller. The movie is an adaptation of Derailed. Ask Gautham Menon about it, and he quickly retorts that the adaptation is only of the book and not the movie of the same name. There is a tale behind how Gautham came to film this story. The Derailed book was given to him by Anurag Kashyap (whose Black Friday incidentally released this week). Gautham was immediately thrilled at the story and wanted to get the film rights. And as any self-respecting and serious filmmaker would do, Gautham contacted the publishers, but was told that the rights had been sold to Hollywood. Gautham was in a fix. He initially thought that he would do the movie before Hollywood can do it. He went to Sarath, who was waiting for a script that would help him break the cliched action-mass hero mould. Gautham is also confident that his adaptation of Derailed would have a very contemporary Tamil feel. Gautham has told in an interview that Pachai Kili Muthucharam is a Balu Mahendra-meets-Quentin Tarantino kind of film. Among other things, 'Vilai Uyirendraalum,' 'Parundhu' and 'Silandhi' were the titles considered for the movie. Further, actors like Shobana and Simran were considered for the character that Andrea has played.

Gautham ready to reshoot
Remember Gautham Menon's 'Chennaiyil Oru Mazhaikaalam'. The movie starring Trisha alongside five newcomers went to floors a few months ago. However Gautham temporarily halted the shooting of 'Chennaiyil Oru Mazhaikaalam' to concentrate on 'Varanam Aayiram' starring Suriya. Now that 'Varanam Aayiram' is nearing completion, the director is keen to restart 'Chennaiyil Oru Mazhiakaalam'. Plans are on to commence shooting from the end of April. Interestingly Gautham Menon has teamed up with A R Rahman for the movie. In spite of his busy schedule in Hindi, Rahman has agreed to work for it.
Gautham speaks on Varanam Aayiram
Gautham Menon is a busy director in Tamil cinema today. The director, who is known for his serious action films, is currently directing Suriya for 'Varanam Aayiram'. Buzz is that he would be directing Vikram next. Busy completing 'Varanam Aayiram', the ace director chose time off his busy schedule to share his views on how 'Varanam Aayiram' has shaped up. 'It's a simple film about a youngster and his experiences in life. He lives life fully, discovers something new every moment. He is on the verge of life every moment.' On his next, he says, 'We have started work on 'Chennaiyil Oru Mazhaikaalam', with Trisha in the lead and several other newcomers- Sandhya, Nikita, Veera, Karthik, Shyam and Satish. It is going to be a fun film about several people falling in love left and right'.
