''I AM VERY JEALOUS OF HIM'', GAUTHAM MENON

Karthick Naren's Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru team celebrated the 75th-day of the film at Prasad Studios, Chennai which had Gautham Vasudev Menon, K.E.Gnanavel Raja, 2D Entertainment's Rajsekar Pandian and others gracing the function with their presence.

Gautham Menon, during his speech, said, "Cinema always welcomes fresh talents, and Tamil cinema, especially does that in a grand manner. The best example is Karthick Naren. A week after the film's release, I happened to see so much of positive reviews pouring in for the film, and that is when I decided to watch the film. I had met Karthick already during the first look launch of the movie. He introduced himself as my fan. But after watching the film, I became his fan.
 

While I was watching Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru, I was always wondering about what his second film is going to be like. As a result, I wanted to become a small part of his journey and came on board to produce Naragasooran. All the technicians, who have worked in D16 have stood out, and I guess Karthick Naren gave them so much of space to exhibit their talents. When I couldn't work with Jomon for Dhruva Natchathiram, I wanted to work with somebody new, and I asked Karthick to introduce me to Sujith Sarang (DoP of D16). As he was already busy with few other projects, I opted to go for another cinematographer.  But, hopefully, we will get to work at some point in time.

Karthick, who is just 21 or 22, is very clear, confident and sorted. He is roaming around with bound scripts in hand, and  I am very jealous of him. Every hero wants to work with him, and I am sure a lot of heroes are lined up.

Of course, the USP of D-16 is Rahman sir. He still looks like the same Rahman we saw in KB sir's films. I think we should thank Karthick Naren for this world-class film, and I wish him and the whole team the best for all of their future endeavors."
