Gautham Menon likely to make his Malayalam debut with a Fahadh Faasil starrer

Gautham Menon is one of those directors who enjoys much popularity among film lovers in Kerala. A half Malayali by birth, Menon has always been keen to work in the Malayalam film industry. Though he would have wished to make his entry to M-Town as a filmmaker, he eventually forayed into Malayalam cinema by playing a crucial role in the Anwar Rasheed directorial ‘Trance’. The film that stars Fahadh Faasil in the lead has Menon as the prime antagonist.

After ‘Trance’, Fahadh and Gautham Menon are likely to team up once again. In a recent interview, the latter revealed that he has a script ready and if things turn our well, Fahadh will be playing the lead role in it. Earlier, Gautham Menon has had talks with leading stars like Mohanlal, Mammootty and Nivin Pauly but things didn’t fall in place then.

In Tamil, Menon is currently trying to get his ambitious film ‘Dhruva Nathchathiram’ to hit screens. He also has an action thriller ‘Joshua Imai Pol Naan Kaakka’ in the making. ‘Puppy’ fame Varun plays the lead in it. The director has also committed for a military-based film with Anushka Shetty.
