His Chennayil Oru Mazhaikaalam is doomed to be jinxed
as the first time they started it with Asin and
Surya it was dropped just after a photo shoot. When
it was revived, recently, with Trisha, it took off
but had to be stopped half way to enable completion
of Varanam Aayiram.
Now even VA has posed problems for him. After successful
completion of a month-long shooting in the US, Gautham
had arranged to send the film rolls to Chennai.
Two production managers, who were bringing it to
Chennai, from the US, stayed on in Singapore for
two days before reaching the intended destination.
Only on reaching Chennai did they find that the
film rolls were missing, much to the shock of the
film crew. Gautham who had spent a month shooting
the talkie, song and action sequences across different
cities in the US and in a university there, was
down in the dumps on hearing this. Its producer,
Oscar Ravichandran, who was also seen depressed,
made very possible effort to trace them. After much
laboring they finally received information that
it was with the officials at the Singapore Airport
and was brought to Chennai after much deliberation.
Only after the rolls reached Chennai did the film
crew heave a sigh of relief. |
