Gautham Menon to play the villain in GV Prakash’s next

Composer-turned-actor GV Prakash’s new film with debutant director Mathimaran was launched last day in Chennai. Varsha Bollamma of ’96’ and ‘Bigil’ fame is playing the female lead. Interestingly, the makers have roped in ace filmmaker Gautham Vasudev Menon to play the antagonist in the film. Though Menon has acted in quite a few films, this is the first time he is playing a full length negative character. With his manly voice and good looks, it will be interesting to see him essay a villain character.

GV Prakash will be seen as a college student in this upcoming film, which is yet to be titled. It is said to be planned as an action thriller. Director Mathimaran is an erstwhile associate of veteran Vetri Maaran. The film will have cinematography by Vishnu Rangasamy of ‘Annanukku Jai’ fame and edits by S Ilayaraja. K Productions is producing the film.

Meanwhile, GV Prakash’s latest release ‘Sivappu Manjal Pachai’ in which he plays one of the leads alongside Siddharth is doing well at the box office.
