Close on the heels of Thimiru's success, director Tharun Gopi has commenced his next directorial venture Nee Pesa Vendum.

The young director has stoutly denied rumors that his Thimiru was directed by Vishal himself, who had been an associate to actor-director Arjun.

Impressed with my directorial skills, Vishal provided me the opportunity to direct Thimiru, he said.

Tharun Gopi had worked with Bharathiraja, Senthilnathan, Manoj Kumar and Gokulakrishna A Venkatesh and Upendra.

My forthcoming movie would be more racy and have more thrills and entertainment, he claims.

It may be recalled that Shreya Reddy whose role was critically acclaimed in the movie had thanked Tharun Gopi for teaching her right expressions.

The Thimuru team recently had a bash to celebrate its success. Sources say the highlight of that bash was the fun dance of Reema Sen and Trisha.
