It’s a widely known fact that Dhruva Natchathiram is Gautham Menon’s most ambitious project. The film has been the talking point in Kollywood circles for over a decade and faced massive roadblocks on its way to release. There is still no clarity over when this film starring Vikram, Parthibhan and Ritu Verma in key roles will be released.
The film was initially announced with Suriya in release and was the most hyped Kollywood project a decade back. The main reason behind this hype was the successful combo of Gautham Menon and Suriya who had already delivered massive hits like Kaakha Kaakha, and Vaaranam Aayiram (Suriya S/o Krishna).
Unfortunately, the project didn’t materialize with Suriya and the film later went to Vikram. In a recent interview, the director made an emotional statement and said that Suriya should have trusted him with this film and had that happened, Dhruva Natchathiram would have had a different fate.
“Suriya shouldn’t had a second thought to do Dhruva Natchathiram, because we made Khakha & Varanam Aayiram and so he could have trusted me. I tried to convince my best, but he didn’t agreed. I’m really upset that Suriya denied the film,” said an emotional Gautham Menon.
