Gautham Vasudev Menon Upset with Suriya, The Inside Story Revealed. In a recent interview, Gautham Vasudev Menon revealed the first choice for his halted film Dhruva Nachathiram. GVM said, “There’s no disappointment as such. I’m not setting out from home thinking I’m going to talk about this issue or that. I’m a very candid person, and I’m not spewing anything bad about anyone – I just speak my mind. The intention wasn’t to say something specific, but when I was asked about some of my work and the problems I faced, I spoke about them. In that scenario, I spoke about Dhruva Nachathiram, and everyone knows it’s in the cans and has not yet been released. When Suriya was to do the film, I was the producer, and we paid him an advance.”

Talking about the film GVM said, “The discussions between him and me always revolved around the content. We could have just trusted each other and done the film. But he finally didn’t. When Vikram came on board, I wasn’t the producer – Vikram picked P Madan to produce the film and I came in somewhere along the way to sort out the issues the film had and took over. The perception that I’m the producer and that’s why the film is stuck is wrong – even if Suriya had been in this film now, it would have been stuck”

GVM Upset With Suriya

In the same interview, Gutham Vasudev Menon revealed he was upset with Suriya. GVM said, “Of course I was! Suriya is somebody I worked with on two films – Kaakha Kaakha and Vaaranam Aayiram. I had the scripts, but we both worked a lot to make the films work, and there was a lot of discussion and collaboration. Vaaranam Aayiram was a coming-of-age story with deep emotion and it was a very poignant sort of film. Suriya picked that film because he trusted me and he trusted himself with the film. So that’s why there was this whole upset feeling that he didn’t trust me with Dhruva Nachathiram. I thought it’d work really well.”
