In the film industry, it is common for people belonging to one department to work in another department. There are cases where actors turned directors and gave super hits. Also.. there are directors who excelled as actors too. Veteran director Gautham Menon is also in this list.
Gautham Menon, who made his debut as a director with the film ‘Cheli’ in 2001, is a specialist in making romantic entertainers and suspense thrillers. However, in the last few years, Gautham did not get a real hit. After ‘Sahasam Swasaga Saagipo’, Gautham’s ‘Thoota’, which took a long gap, could not entertain the audience.And.. ‘Dhruva Nakshatra’ with Vikram has not been released for many years. He had a lot of trouble as a producer with this film. In some interviews, said that he became an actor only for the investment of the film ‘Dhruva Nakshatra’.
As far as acting is concerned.. the Malayalam film ‘Trans’ gave Gautham a turning point as an actor. After that, the movie ‘Kanulu Kanulanu Dochaayante’ brought out another angle in Gautham’s acting. Last year he acted in ten movies in various languages. Currently, Gautham Menon is going to be seen in a key role in Natasimha Balakrishna’s 109th movie. Today (February 25) is Gautham Menon’s birthday.And.. Let’s hope that Gautham Menon will show his uniqueness not only as an actor but also as a director.
