In a recent interview, Gautham Vasudev Menon voiced his displeasure over Suriya’s decision to decline working together on Dhruva Natchathiram. During an interview with Behindwoods, the director conveyed that given their successful collaboration on two previous films, Suriya might have placed more trust in him when presented with this opportunity.
During our discussion, the director expressed, “Some might perceive me as being skeptical, but it’s more than that. I acknowledge that actors may struggle to respond immediately, but I believe Suriya shouldn’t have hesitated about taking on Dhruva Natchathiram. He should have simply accepted the offer.
In a similar fashion, we created the films Kaakha Kaakha and Vaaranam Aayiram. We conceived an idea and executed it. I considered Nana Patekar and Mohanlal for the father roles in the film, but they had personal reasons to decline. It was then that Suriya stepped up to portray both characters. He showed tremendous courage to take on this challenge.
During a subsequent conversation, Gautham Menon shared insights about their discussions on the movie with Suriya. He disclosed that the actor frequently requested “references” for the film from him, but the director had none because he conceived the idea independently.
GVM expressed, “I gave my utmost effort to persuade him. If Suriya had taken part, the outcome might’ve been distinct. I entered the situation, but he didn’t respond. He ought to have trusted me – his director who worked on films like Kaakha Kaakha and Vaaranam Aayiram with him. I never asked for his help out of kindness, merely trust. What if things had gone awry? He had nothing to risk – I’m the producer.
The director made clear that it was particularly disappointing for him, despite others potentially turning it down, that Suriya chose not to be part of the film.
The upcoming Tamil spy-action film, titled “Dhruva Natchathiram,” remains unseen on the big screen. This highly anticipated production features Chiyaan Vikram in a prominent role. The film is under the guidance of director GVM, but its release has been postponed several times because of financial and legal complications.
