Grabs popcorn & waits for the anti-GVM brigade to pop out of the woodwork to take out their daily life frustrations on him 😉

Thanks for this BR. I especially like the candor that you bring out of him. A few years back a director saying he doesn’t like his own movie or mentioning that the actor lost interest in the movie mid way would be unheard off. But here he is openly saying it and this not becoming controversial is sign off good times IMHO.

I feel Gautam is talking too much about his upcoming movies. At first it was fine but after hearing him talk for the 100th time, these stories lose their novelty. It would be nice if he would start making these movies instead of just talking about it.

@Vignesh
I enjoy his movies, but this is something that I’ve noticed from watching his interviews over the years. He’ll always say he’s writing his next movie about so or so (ex. Ondraga with actors from all South industries) and repeat that idea in interviews for years with no real progress. I sorta get the feeling he’s someone who is more in love with the idea of writing and talking about it rather than actually writing

@vignesh well he’s giving you fair warning; you cannot blame anyone but yourself for watching his movies now 🙂
In seriousness though, he has had trouble releasing his movies recently, and I guess he needs to keep the hype alive till release date. ENPT had great songs, but the upcoming ones don’t have that.

It’s always a pleasure listening to GVM. He’s very honest abut his successes and failure. I agree with him that ENPT is his worst film and AEM was 50: 50, great first half and terrible second half. But, like a lot of people here, i wish he starts making those films he talks about; Yohan, thuppariyum Anandam, surangani, whatever. Though i do feel he’s past his prime now, and they will never be as good as he conceived them the first time, which is more than a decade. Now with all the trouble he’s facing with getting his films released, not to mention the falling outs he had with the major stars, i don’t think major stars will be queuing up to work with him anymore, which will make it even difficult for him to get them made.
