Karthik
Dial
Seytha
Yenn,
the
recently
released
Gautham
Menon
directed
lockdown
short
film
has
created
quite
a
stir
in
the
social
media
platforms.
The
short
film,
which
has
Trisha
Krishnan
and
Simbu
reprising
the
highly
celebrated
characters
Jessie
and
Karthik,
is
a
spiritual
sequel
to
the
director's
2010-released
blockbuster
Vinnaithaandi
Varuvaayaa.
The
Gautham
Menon
directorial
is
totally
loved
by
the
cine-goers
but
was
also
brutally
trolled
by
the
netizens
for
its
concept.
The
self-appointed
moral
police
of
social
media
platforms
have
been
attacking
Karthik
Dial
Seytha
Yenn
for
promoting
the
concept
of
infidelity
and
illicit
relationships.
However,
director
Gautham
has
finally
reacted
to
the
allegations
in
his
recent
interview
given
to
Film
Companion.
According
to
Gautham
Menon,
Karthik
Dial
Seytha
Yenn
does
not
intend
to
promote
infidelity
or
illicit
relationships.
The
director
pointed
out
that
the
short
film
is
about
the
conversation
that
happens
between
an
ex-couple,
who
parted
ways
a
decade
back.
So
naturally,
it
cannot
be
a
moral
science
class.
The
filmmaker
remarked
that
his
short
film
narrates
Karthik
and
Jessie's
present
situation,
where
they
are
now
free
to
have
a
conversation.
When
Karthik
said
he
wants
to
live
in
Jessie's
feet,
what
he
meant
is
looking
at
her
as
a
pillar
of
support
and
living
in
her
shadow
where
he
feels
the
safest.
That
is
why
he
is
seen
writing
the
sentence
'some
people,
some
women,
they
just
don't
go
away'
towards
the
end
of
the
short
film.
Gautham
Menon
also
confirmed
that
a
sequel
is
in
cards
for
Vinnaithaandi
Varuvaayaa,
and
Karthik
Dial
Seytha
Yenn
is
just
an
episode
from
that.
The
short
film
had
marked
the
comeback
of
the
core
team
of
the
2010-released
blockbuster
including
the
director,
lead
actors
Simbu
and
Trisha,
and
music
director
AR
Rahman.
Karthik
Dial
Seytha
Yenn
has
already
crossed
6.6
Million
views
on
YouTube
so
far.
