genelia
dsouza
has
already
done
3
mega
budget
films
in
Tamil
and
all
of
them
became
a
big
disaster
at
the
box-office.
As
usual,
the
film
pundits
stamped
her
as
unlucky,
and
this
has
kept
her
away
from
Kollywood.
But
her
luck
is
working
out
well
in
Tollywood.
Film
critics
have
given
accolades
on
her
performance
in
Bommarilu,
and
now
she
has
a
handful
of
films
in
Telugu.
Now
there
is
a
chance
for
this
young
artist
to
test
her
luck
in
Tamil
cinema
again.
This
time,
Gowtham
Menon
has
given
her
the
opportunity
to
play
the
lead
role
against
Surya
in
Vaaranam
Ayiram.
After
signing
the
contract,
genelia
dsouza
told
us,
'I'm
so
excited
about
acting
with
Surya,
one
of
my
favourite
heroes
in
Tamil.
I
hope
this
film
will
break
all
odds
against
me
in
Tamil
cinema'.
Meanwhile,
Gowtham
has
changed
his
name
as
Gowtham
Vasudeva
Menon
for
this
film.
When
I
asked
him
about
this
change
he
told
me,
'there
is
nothing
special
about
this
name
change.
I
just
feel
good
in
using
my
name
with
my
father's
full
initials.
That's
all.
There
are
no
numerology
factors
behind
this
change.
It
is
not
true
that
I
have
decided
to
change
my
name
after
the
box
office
debacle
of
Pachaikili
Muthucharam.
The
fact
is
that
the
film
is
doing
good
business
in
B
centers
too,
and
I
will
join
hands
with
Sarath
again
after
some
time"¦'
According
to
the
director,
the
film
Vaaranam
Aayiram
will
be
shot
at
breathtaking
locations
in
Afganistan,
Russia,
US
and
most
of
the
South
East
Asian
countries.
