Ace director Gautham Vasudev Menon’s news created some buzz in the Kollywood scenario. In one of the interviews recently, this renowned director came out saying he would work with Jayam Ravi in his next film. This would be both actors’ first collaborative effort, so fans are excitedly speculating about the movie. The story has been penned by no one other than the National Award-winning director, Vetrimaaran, to make things interesting and expectations reach a never-seen-before level for such a project.
A Combination Keeps Fans On Their Tiptoes
Gautham Menon, the finest film directors who mastered the art of telling stories and classy film-making, is finally on an assignment that places him in tandem with Jayam Ravi as his male lead. No surprise that the fans have gone nuts with excitement over this. Of course, one of the signature works of the director is none other than those classics, Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa and Kaakha Kaakha.
Jayam Ravi creates his space through the versatility seen in Thani Oruvan, Comali, and Ponniyin Selvan. When that mass appeal can be complemented by meaningful roles, it makes him all the more interesting in terms of a narrative-driven style by Menon.
A Key Highlight from Vetrimaaran’s Story
Added to that, the story for the film is written by Veteran director and writer Vetrimaaran. Vetrimaaran stands out as a hard-hitting, socially relevant scriptwriter whose films have touched audiences’ hearts for their gritty narratives and emotional depth – with Asuran and Visaranai being the prime examples.
Gautham Menon called himself an ardent admirer of the project by terming the story “very interesting” and admitted that that’s a strong reason for his doing the movie. This pairing of Menon with Vetrimaaran has it promising an almost unique confluence of chic narrative with straight-forward, factual, and graphic accounts of story lines.
Gautham Menon is visibly keen on completing his long-delayed project, Dhruva Natchathiram, with Vikram in the lead role and then take up this new project. The spy thriller, which has been marred by several setbacks since its onset, includes a range of production delays that make the release date uncertain. However, Menon assured the fans and clarified that it is going to be worth all the waits.
He cited the example of Madha Gaja Raja, which released more than a decade after its completion and had still seen its way to success. That is a testament to the timelessness of his stories, at least as Menon understands it.
What to Expect from the Menon-Ravi-Vetrimaaran Collaboration
With the promise of being one of the freshest pairings with the creative strength of three super-respected names in Kollywood, here’s why this film project can certainly be a landmark in Tamil cinema:
- A Fresh Pairing
Jayam Ravi and Gautham Menon have never collaborated before; this is, therefore, a very fresh and interesting prospect. That Ravi, with his ability to bring depth to his characters, aligns perfectly with Menon’s penchant for layered storytelling is good news.
- A Vetrimaaran Narrative
There may yet be hope at last in the story of Vetrimaaran. Hope for a sarkyi plot that would match the sensibility of Menon in cinema that only serves the sensibilities better still-a realistic poetic presentation in stylish execution bound to strike chimes across the board and in hearts everywhere.
- All-India potential
Jayam Ravi is having the time of his life after the massive success of Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan franchise, which has garnered appreciation all over pan-India. This one may just connect well with the nation considering the technical brilliance in Gautham Menon and Vetrimaaran’s narrative grip.
- Technical Brilliance
Menon’s films are always known for sleek cinematography, memorable music, and top production values. This project is unlikely to be an exception, especially if it features a soundtrack from one of Menon’s frequent collaborators, such as Harris Jayaraj or A.R. Rahman.
The Road Ahead
Though the project has just begun-discussions are taking place-the news, in itself has created a massive buzz. It is eagerly expected that fans hear more about cast, crew and shooting schedule updates.
For now, Gautham Menon is all set to finish Dhruva Natchathiram, but enthusiasm for the Jayam Ravi project does indicate that it will be the next film to take over. With three powerhouse talents, Menon, Ravi, and Vetrimaaran coming together, this film has a potential to become one of the great cinematic masterpieces.
