Is Ajith Reviving Thuppariyum Anand For Gautham Menon?

By Ramchander

Gautham Menon's much-planned projects have been dropped one after the other. Some of his films were shelved at last minute for one or the other reasons. Notable among them are Yohan: Adhyayam ondru with Vijay and Surya's Dhruva Natchathiram. And also, the director had a thriller script in the form of Thuppariyum Anand, which he wanted to do with an A-list actor. Now, it appears like it is this story, which is being revived by Ajith Kumar!

As well all know, Ajith Kumar and Gautham Menon are joining hands for the first time. Their project, which was supposed to take off last month, will be launched soon. But people were not aware of the genre that they are working in. Now, rumours have emerged that it is the script of suspense-thriller Thuppariyum Anand, which has been given green signal by Ajith Kumar.
