Gautham Menon’s take on who is next Kamal

Gautham Menon who is currently busy with Vaaranam Aayiram seems to be smitten by the hero Surya. He has been floored by Surya’s dedication and commitment and continues singing his hosannas. While discussing the film, he states that it deals with the life of man in different stages from the youthful days to old age. He further adds that


this could be one of the first films in Tamil cinema which has recorded the events in the life time of a person exhaustively. He says that Surya features as a 30 year and also a 70 year old man. According to the director, the role is not about increasing the brawn or muscle mass but it is all about bringing out the fine nuances which are characteristic of different age groups. Gautham states, “Surya is certainly the next Kamal in the making. I see a lot of work reverence in Surya which is so synonymous with Kamal.” Vaaranam Aayiram features Simran, Divya along with Sameera Reddy as Surya’s screen partners.
