Gautham criticizes Sasi Kumar and Ameer

Not one to beat around the bush, Gautham Menon is quite vociferous in his opinion about his contemporaries. In an interview to a tabloid, Gautham noted that he didn’t understand why Sasi Kumar is being celebrated as the greatest director. “I thought the movie was okay but there was no reason to justify violence and bloodshed. There’s no doubt that he’s done a good job but that doesn’t make him the best,” he added. Gautham also said that he faces questions as to why his movies lack nativity following films like Subramaniapuram. “What if characters in my movie speak English? Don’t we all?” questioned Gautham.

Talking about Ameer, Gautham said that it was unbecoming of him to do a film like Yogi based on another famous movie. “We don’t need an Ameer to do such a thing. Anybody can do that,” Gautham was quoted as saying.
