Director Gautham Menon said that ‘Dhruva Nachatthira’ will be the best role Vinayakan has done so far. “Vinayak sir has never been seen so stylishly in any other film. His dialogues and swag will be the main highlight of the film,” says Gautham Menon. He revealed these things in an interview with Divyadarshini.
Dealing with a big actor like Vinayak sir is not easy. Because he needs a clear understanding of certain things. I have to know the character’s style, costume, what mood I am creating for him. Vikram sir also had no doubt that Vinayakan’s performance would overshadow him. They were very cool. Vikram sir sat on the spot and gave make-up to Vinayaka in many scenes.
In an action scene, the two of them acted out discussing how to do it this way and how to do it that way. Those were very happy things. I am lucky that I have chosen the right actors for the film. They provided everything I needed without causing any problems.
Vinayak sir has never been seen so stylishly in any other movie. His dialogues and swag will be the main highlight of the film. Divyadarshini tells me about Vinayaka. I was looking for a villain. That’s when he tells me to watch his movies. This is his best. It is doubtful whether he knows this.
Recently he also came and went for dubbing. But I wanted one more day of him. But he was not found. A message was sent on the phone saying, “Sir, you may not know what you have done in this film, but you will know when the film is released.”
I am lucky to have Vikram sir as the hero. Vikram was just calling Sir when he was standing on the stage wondering if he could ever do this script. In such a conversation Sir asked, ‘Why did Dhruvana leave Chatthira, why did Surya say no to it’? He said, ‘I don’t know that, sir, this is the idea of this film’. He also said, ‘Then come home and we can talk more’.
So came to his house and talked a lot about my films. Loved the movie after listening to the story. But at that time sir did not have a date. He promised to do whatever it takes. So, he asked where to go to choose a dress for the movie. There’s a lot of filming overseas, so America would be great. It was decided to shoot the promo in four days and announce this film.
In fact, I went to buy a dress for the film. Jomon (Jomon T. John) asked Sir to come. The scenes shot there were included in the first released trailer.
I was sitting in silence. Whenever I tweet about any other movies, the comments below it are about this movie. The promo teaser shot before the shooting of the movie was released that day. I had a vision and the people who agreed with it were gone. The film stopped for two or three years. Then came covid. After that another team came with me. The intention was not to release the film without doing anything. Now Vikram sir is happy.
When this film was finished editing, there was a feeling that there was a need for a second part. I think it’s all good. If this film is successful then it has every chance to get a second part. I have a universe thought in my mind.” – Gautham Menon said.
Gautham Yemanon’s reply to those criticizing what is new about the film coming after seven years: “So will ‘Vinnai Thandi Varuvaya’ run in theaters every Valentine’s Day? That’s not a big deal. So far I and my team have done new age films where anything can be added at any time. Harris Jayaraj was the first to talk about this film. Even the editor Antony said it was like editing a new film. No one has ever told me that it is old and has been dug up.
I believe that this movie will be a hit in theaters and Vikram sir’s fans and my fans will celebrate this movie. The film will be released on November 24.
