It's Not Vijay, Ajith, Surya, But Simbu For Gautham Menon

By Ramchander

Gautham Menon seems to have finally found his hero for his next movie as he has locked a script and has roped in Simbu for his forthcoming Tamil movie. With this development, the director has started a fresh project after his two prestigious movies were dropped back to back.

The search for the lead actor in his movie has finally ended after he zeroed in on Silambarasan.. Gautham Menon has not been able to convince A-list actors in the recent times. First it was Vijay, who opted out of Yohan after the filmmaker failed to present bound script before the Illayathalapathy. It was a huge embarrassment for the successful director as the photoshoots of the movie had happened.

Adding fuel to his woes, the production house had proudly announced the news and had started pre-production works before Vijay pulled out of the movie. It made Gautham Menon to approach his close friend Surya with whom he had delivered a few hits like Vaaranam Aayiram and Kaakha Kaakha.

The project titled Dhruva Natchathiram was also launched a few months ago. But this movie too saw the same fate of Yohan as Gautham Menon failed to come up with bound script on time.
