Gautham Menon is one of the few directors in Kollywood who has the star power to bring in the audience to the theaters all by himself. He has simultaneously produced and directed Dhanush's 'Enai Nokki Paayum Thotta' and Vikram's 'Dhruva Natchathiram' but the release of both the films have been stalled due to his financial crises. His other production ventures 'Nenjam Marapathillai' directed by Selvaraghavan and 'Naragasooran' directed by Karthik Naren is also yet to see the light of day.

All those connected to the film industry are concerned that such a creative personality as Gautham Menon has caught himself up in a tangle due to his debts. However a new project has come the class director's way which reportedly would solve all his problems. Gautham has signed a new movie to be produced by Isari Ganesh's Vels Films International and the hero is the producer's nephew Varun who recently put in a cameo appearance in their home banner's 'LKG'. The heroine and the rest of the cast and crew will be out soon.
