KollywoodThe duo had a fall out when Suriya penned an open letter over creative differences between the two.Digital NativeDigital NativeDirector Gautham Menon and actor Suriya were formidable combo in the film industry having worked together in Kaakha Kaakha and Vaaranam Aayiram, both of which were hits. However, they had a fall out after Suriya decided to walk out of Gautham Menon’s directorial Dhruva Natchathiram. They had some creative differences over this project and Suriya decided to pen an open letter about why he decided to quit. This broke the friendship bond between the two and they never worked together again. However, later, in an interview, Suriya regretted about the open letter incident which paved way for both of them patching up. In a recent interview, Gautham Menon has said he would certainly work with Suriya in the near future. This is certainly big news for both their fans. Currently, Gautham Menon is associated with two directorial – Enai Noki Paayum Thotta and Dhruva Natchathiram. While Dhanush plays the lead role in the former, it is Vikram in the latter.

KollywoodWritten and directed by Gautham Menon, the spy thriller stars Vikram in the lead role.Digital NativeThe Gautham Menon directorial Dhruva Natchathiram went on the floors early last year and is yet to hit the sliver screens. Starring Vikram in the lead role, it marks his career’s first collaboration with director Gautham Menon. Therefore, expectations are high on this film, added to the hype created by the two-minute teaser released last year. The team is almost done with the shooting and is planning to release it this year. According to trade sources, the makers of Dhruva Natchathiram are in talks with Lyca Productions to sell its distribution rights. If the talks prove fruitful, Lyca may bag the rights, which would be a huge advantage for the film. Written and directed by Gautham Menon, the film has been jointly produced by him, Venkat Somasundaram, Reshma Ghatala, P Madan and Senthil Veeraasamy under the banners Ondraga Entertainment, Escape Artists Motion Pictures and Kondaduvom Entertainment. Tipped to be the biggest film in Gautham Menon’s career, Vikram plays John / Yohan / Dhruv in this spy thriller. The film stars Aishwarya Rajesh and Ritu Varma as the leading ladies. Parthiepan, Simran, Raadhika Sarathkumar, Shravanthi Sainath, Dhivyadharshini and Fasil Tharammal form the supporting cast. Harris Jayaraj has composed music for this venture and cinematography has been handled by Jomon T John, Santhana Krishnan Ravichandran and Manoj Paramahamsa. The film has been edited by Praveen Antony. Though the initial plan was to shoot a major portion of the film in the Us, Gautham Menon eventually decided on some European countries. While the teaser of the film, shot in New York, was released last year, the shooting proceeded at a slow pace owing to various reasons. In August, the team was in Georgia where they shot some scenes in gruelling weather conditions. Dhruva Natchathiram, being a spy thriller, has been shot in several foreign locations, including Bulgaria, UAE, Georgia and Turkey. The film’s release date will be locked once the deal with Lyca Productions is through, say sources. (Content provided by Digital Native)...

Mesmerizing and brilliant work of art opens The New York Film Festival on the evening of September 28.
Most film lovers are well aware or smart enough to understand that adapting novels into features can be a difficult process. When it’s a well received or beloved piece of work, such as Yann Martel’s Life of Pi, the translation can be even trickier. Quite often, you have loyal fans who feel specific details that either they found precious or deeply connected with, must be preserved in the translation. To do so for everything would be nearly impossible and disastrous for the final product, which in fact is a narrative feature, a completely different medium. Life of Pi has passed through the hands of many directors who were candidates to helm the film, some of them unlikely choices, others, seemingly brilliant.
