Gautham Menon has always been a busy man. He's currently working on his upcoming bilingual 'Neethane En Ponvasantham' that is being simultaneously shot in Telugu as 'Yeto Vellipoyindhi Manasu' starring Jiiva and Nani respectively in the Tamil and Telugu versions of the film with Samantha Ruth Prabhu playing the lead in both the films.
The ace director has future projects such as Yohan: Adhyaayam Ondru with Vijay and Thuppariyum Anandhan with Suriya to keep him occupied for another year. Meanwhile, he is also producing a film, Thanga Meengal, directed by Katradhu Tamizh fame Ram.
On why he decided to produce Thanga Meengal, he said "Aamir Khan's 'Taare Zameen Par (2007) had inspired me to take up a film on a social issue and that is when Ram presented me with the beautiful script," said the director. He also added that it was he who forced Ram to do the central character as Gautham felt that only Ram can understand the complete nuances of the script.
The film stars Ram, Sadhana, Sally, Padmapriya and Rohini. Yuvan Shankar Raja has again collaborated with Ram after Katradhu Thamizh. Arabind Sara is handling the camera and Sreekar Prasad is editing the film.
