News

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.

Surya
Announced...
Furious
Surya
went
on
to
announce
his
decision
to
back
out
from
the
Gautham
Menon's
project.
Menon
Approached
Thala
Later,
Gautham
Menon,
without
wasting
time,
approached
Ajith
Kumar
for
a
new
project.
But
nothing
was
clear
as
the
director
remained
unavailable
for
the
comment.
Gautham
Menon-Simbu
Again
Now,
the
news
is
out
that
Gautham
Menon
has
met
Simbu
and
they
have
zeroed
in
on
a
project.
They
have
finalised
the
script
and
the
shoot
will
commence
on
November
1.
Other
Cast-Crew
Other
cast
and
crew
are
yet
to
be
finalised.
Gautham
Menon
will
officially
announce
the
project
soon.
Desperate
For
Success
Industry
insiders
say
that
both
Gautham
Menon
and
Simbu
are
desperate
for
a
massive
success
and
this
made
them
to
come
together.
VTV
Gautham
Menon
had
earlier
directed
Silambarasan
in
Vinnaithandi
Varuvaya.
The
movie
was
a
Blockbuster.
Thala's
Project
Next
Year
However,
Gautham
Menon
has
almost
sealed
a
deal
with
Ajith
Kumar.
The
project
will
take
off
next
year.
