Gautham Menon vows to stay away from new projects; Focuses on 'Dhruva Natchathiram' release
Gautham Vasudev Menon
has made a bold declaration that he will not direct or act in any new film until the release of his long-delayed spy thriller 'Dhruva Natchathiram.' Considering the film's high anticipation level and its long journey towards release, this statement has created a new buzz in the Tamil film industry.
Years of delay and missed release dates
'Dhruva Natchathiram', starring Chiyaan Vikram in the lead role, was initially planned to be completed and released in 2017. However, the film has faced many obstacles over the years, with several release dates being announced and later missed. Fans expected a dramatic start in January last year and again earlier this year, but the ongoing issues stopped the film from watching daylight.
Final push towards a theatrical release
In a podcast with YouTuber Prashanth,
Gautham Menon
confirmed that he has no plans to take on any other directorial or acting assignments until 'Dhruva Natchathiram' is successfully released. He assured that the problems surrounding the project are gradually being resolved and expressed strong confidence that the film will finally be released in July or August 2025.
