Gautham Menon spills the beans on Dhruva Natchathiram, Enai Noki Payyum Thotta & Yennai Arindhaal 2

That Gautham Menon has been planning a sequel to Ajith starrer Yennai Arindhaal and that he plans to approach the actor once the script is done was something revealed by Menon early last year. Now in an interview to an online video channel, the director has added that while the plan is still very much on, Menon plans to approach Ajith only with a bound script. He said,

"..I have an idea of Yennai Arindhaal 2. It's a 30% script now and I promised Ajith sir that the next time I come to him, it will be with a full-bound script; because he did wait a very long for the climax the last time; he kept asking me and I thought he was little bothered by that, so it is my fault completely.So i thought the next time i go to him, which i can go any time i'm hoping, I can give him a full bound script and take it forward."

At one point the director is asked about the usage of voice-overs (used extensively in Yennai Arindhaal) in his films, which made Gautham Menon open up about the Dhanush starrer Enai Noki Payyum Thota too.

"I have never used it (voice-over) as a tool to avoid filming something or a connect between scenes that I haven't thought of as yet..It is designed to a large extent in the film when I write itself. I am huge fan of Shawshank Redemption..It's etched in my head and started writing like that..I've actually pushed the voice-over to a great extent with Enai Noki Payyum Thotta. I thought it was a Guy Ritchie kind of a treatment and I thought let's do that with Dhanush."

And anyone who has watched Menon's cop films would agree that there is atleast one heroine that ends up dead who is either the lover or the wife. But little did anyone expect that when asked this most thought of question, Menon would end up with talking about Dhruva Natchathiram starring Vikram.

"I think it is to show the danger associated with the work that he is in..Also the concept of 'first love' is because the guy or the girl doesn't exist anymore as far as the relationship is concerned...for me the loss of a girl going away (first love) is equivalent to death. I've consciously not done this in Dhruva Natchathiram. I've not wanted the girl to be targetted by the villains or someboby whose gone away from his (Vikram's) life is still existing and they meet much later. So i think I am also evolving (as a story-teller) in that sense (laughs)."
