Gautham sets his sights on Bollywood

Producer-director Gautham Menon's Vinnai Thandi Varuvaya, starring
Simbhu and Trisha in lead roles, is progressing right on schedule. At
the same tine, Gautham is finalizing an untitled suspense-thriller with
Sameera Reddy and a bunch of new faces.
How does he ride both horses together? Gautham said he is
managing fine, though he is saddled with the burden and expectation
factor. "I guess it is all part of the profession; I have nothing to
complain of. After all, I am doing what I am enjoying," Gautham said
with his trademark honesty.
On turning producer, Gautham felt there are a few liberties he can
take as director since he is a also the producer. "I have my own
formula of making films and it is a lot easier to implement these
ideas. The other factor is the monetary returns – as director we pump
in so much effort and there has to be a justifiable
reward," Gautham voiced a pertinent point.
A big Hindi project is also planned by Gautham Menon in June 2010.
It will be his first direct film though he has experienced Bollywood
while remaking the Madhavan-starrer Minnale (Rehna Tere Dil Me).
Changing track to A.R. Rahman and planning his next venture in Bollywood,
Gautham Menon is aiming higher.
