Based
on
the
number
of
screens
Thala
Ajith's
Yennai
Arindhaal
has
managed
to
acquire,
it
is
all
set
to
enjoy
a
huge
opening
come
January
5th.
As
the
film
has
made
all
the
right
noises
until
now,
it
might
be
said
that
Yennai
Arindhaal
could
well
turn
out
to
be
Ajith's
highest
grosser
ever.
The
film
is
directed
by
Gautham
Menon
who
is
known
for
dishing
out
intriguing
movies
like
Kaaka
Kaaka,
Vettaiyaadu
Vilaiyaadu
and
Vaaranam
Aayiram
among
many
others.
This
is
the
first
time
Gautham
Menon
has
joined
hands
with
Ajith
Kumar
and
that
fact
has
helped
the
movie
to
garner
huge
expectations.
Interestingly,
Ajith
has
worked
with
many
directors
and
whenever
he
has
joined
hands
with
a
director
for
the
first
time,
almost
all
such
movies
have
either
gone
on
to
become
a
hit
or
have
attracted
appreciation
from
critics.
Ajith
has
also
worked
with
many
newcomers
who
have
later
established
themselves
as
one
of
top
directors
in
Kollywood.
While
Gautham
Menon
is
not
a
newcomer,
his
association
with
Ajith
for
the
first
time
might
remind
us
about
other
directors
and
their
first
time
collaboration
with
the
Ultimate
Star.
