Fresh after the success of Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya, Gautham has steered his interest towards a blood curdling thriller. Scripted and directed by Gautham himself and produced on behalf of his Photon Kathaas, Nadunisi Naaygal, according to Gautham Menon, is a psychological thriller – a rarity in Tamil cinema

Not much has been revealed in the media in terms of the movie’s plot or storyline but it’s essentially a story of a cop and his attempts to nail a bunch of serial killers, who unleash their killing spree in the night as symbolized by the movie’s title.

As has now become customary to Gautham’s all movies, a dubbed version of Nadunisi Naaygal will also be simultaneously released in Telugu under the working title of Erra Gulabilu.

Gautham’s casting decision of Sameera Reddy comes from the rapport the latter shares with the director since Vaaranam Aayiram days. Gautham was also open about his decision mentioning that it was Sameera’s professionalism that made him consider her for the role in Nadunisi Naaygal. The handsome Veera Bahu, Gautham’s long time associate, makes his debut in a full length role in Nadunisi Naaygal although he has had one-minute appearances in many of Gautham’s earlier movies like Vaaranam Aayiram.

Veera, a former model who had also assisted Gautham Menon in Vaaranam Aayiram and was deeply involved in the production control activities for Gautham’s movies including Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya, Vettaiyaadu Vilayaadu and Pachaikili Muthucharam, will be making his acting debut in Nadunisi Naaigal. This psychological thriller is due to be released shortly and has Sameera Reddy playing the female lead.

Refuting reports by the media that he is related to Sri Devi, Veera has said that he is not in any connected to her family and the news is absolutely false.

Interestingly, Nadunisi Naaygal will not have songs or even background music. A novel attempt by Gautham Menon in the industry that otherwise thinks background score is very important for thriller movies like Nadunisi Naaygal. Let’s trust Gautham on this one and the results will be for us to see on February 18th when the movie is releasing.

Manoj Paramahamsa handles the camera while the movie’s minuscule star cast also includes actors namely Deva, Swapna and Samantha in a cameo role. Hold on to your seats while Gautham traverses through the minds of criminals in his psychological thriller.
