Almost
three
years
have
passed
since
the
release
of
Enai
Nokki
Paayum
Thotta.
Director
Gautham
Menon
did
not
have
any
qualms
in
addressing
the
mixed
response
that
the
film
received.
He
even
acknowledged
how
the
voiceover
in
Enai
Nokki
Paayum
Thotta
did
not
work
for
the
audience.
Gautham
explained
his
perception
of
the
feedback
he
got
for
the
voice
overs
in
Enai
Nokki
Paayum
Thotta,
and
shared
much
more
in
his
recent
interview
with
Baradwaj
Rangan,
for
Galatta
Plus.
Gautham
said
that
Jayamohan,
who
has
written
Vendhu
Thanindhathu
Kaadu,
strongly
recommended
him
to
not
include
voice
overs
in
Vendhu
Thanindhathu
Kaadu.
Jayamohan
had
felt
that
as
voice
overs
were
not
new
to
Gautham,
it
would
be
fresher
to
go
without
any,
for
Vendhu
Thanindhathu
Kaadu.
When
Baddy,
as
Baradwaj
Rangan
is
fondly
called,
said
he
is
going
to
miss
them,
Gautham
joked
about
how
it
would
be
just
him
who
misses
the
voice
overs.
Let
me
take
a
short
detour
and
share
my
thoughts
on
this.
Although
it
might
suddenly
feel
outdated,
as
it
did
not
work
well
in
Enai
Nokki
Paayum
Thotta,
the
voice
over
technique
of
narration
is
still
relevant.
The
critically
acclaimed
American
series
‘You’,
has
made
great
use
of
voice
overs
and
the
show
has
been
significantly
elevated
by
the
voice
overs.
People
have
still
not
gotten
over
the
magic
of
how
well
Gautham
had
used
voice
overs
in
his
cult
romantic
hit
Vinnaithaandi
Varuvaaya.
The
film
is
still
being
screened
in
PVR
Cinemas
in
VR
Mall,
Chennai,
for
those
who
are
interested
in
revisiting
it.
I
went
for
a
show
on
a
Saturday,
a
couple
of
months
back,
and
the
occupancy
was
quite
decent
for
a
10-year
old
film.
While
its
true
that
the
voice
overs
in
Enai
Nokki
Paayum
Thotta,
were
sub-par,
the
narrative
technique
in
itself
surely
hasn’t
lost
its
charm.
Talking
about
Jayamohan’s
involvement
in
writing
Vendhu
Thanindhathu
Kaadu,
Gautham
was
apparently
given
the
liberty
to
bring
out
the
romantic
angle
in
the
story.
Jayamohan
was
quite
supportive
in
terms
of
improvising
dialogues
and
letting
Gautham
own
the
script,
get
into
it,
and
get
comfortable
with
the
universe.
The
director
said
the
writer-director
duo
were
already
discussing
future
projects,
and
that
he
is
enjoying
the
collaboration
a
lot.
Gautham
mentioned
that
this
film
is
the
first
of
two
parts,
and
if
the
film
works
well,
they
would
go
ahead
and
immediately
start
the
production
for
the
sequel.
He
said
he
hopes
to
work
on
the
sequel,
as
he
is
quite
excited
by
what
it
has
to
offer.
Gautham
added
that
he
initially
had
a
love
story
to
work
on,
with
STR,
however,
Jayamohan
had
discussed
this
story
with
Gautham,
shortly
before
the
production
work
began,
and
Gautham
felt
that
this
would
be
a
much
better
project
to
get
STR
into,
at
the
moment.
He
said
that
the
actor
was
enthusiastic
about
Vendhu
Thanindhathu
Kaadu,
and
hence
they
picked
it
up.
This
shift
might
explain
the
change
in
the
film’s
title.
It
was
initially
titled
Nadhigalile
Neeraadum
Suriyan.
This
film
is
a
transitional
project
for
Gautham,
as
he
himself
affirmed
to
Baddy
in
the
interview.
Gautham
said
that
so
far
he
had
only
written
and
directed
characters
that
were
from
his
world,
observed
from
people
he
met
and
interacted
with
in
his
life.
This
is
the
first
time
he
was
entering
someone
else’s
world
and
getting
to
know
the
characters
in
their
universe.
He
said
he
loved
the
process,
and
he
wants
this
to
mark
his
new
phase
of
film-making.
On
an
unrelated
note,
Gautham
revealed
that
Lokesh
Kanagaraj
called
him
up
to
take
up
a
role
in
Vikram.
Gautham
said
it
was
the
role
that
Chemban
Vinod
had
played
in
the
film.
Since,
Gautham
was
busy
with
his
direction
work,
he
could
not
take
it
up.
Gautham
added
that
Lokesh
had
discussed
a
role
for
him
in
his
next
with
Vijay.
Gautham
said
that
he
would
love
to
act
with
Vijay.
Baddy
remarked
that
it
would
be
a
full
circle
from
when
Vijay
and
Gautham
were
about
to
work
together
as
actor-director,
and
now
becoming
costars.
Gautham
said
he
hopes
Lokesh
doesn’t
forget
the
conversation,
and
gets
back
to
him.
We
hope
he
does
that
too!
