“I’m dying to do a women-centric film,” says Gautham Menon

After the super success of 36 Vayadhinile, the trade is delighted with the response since a women-centric film has done phenomenal business at the box-office, which is a rarity in Tamil cinema. “Content certainly is king and if you see Piku, you’d realise that offbeat films have an audience and a big market too. But in Tamil, we still work within a hero-oriented structure as only they ensure an opening. We depend on strong word-of-mouth to draw women to theaters,” says Gautham Menon. 

“We filmmakers feel a film is good when we manage to achieve this. It’s also tough to find a producer for a woman-oriented script, but I’m dying to do something like that myself,” adds Gautham who is currently busy with Simbu’s Achcham Yenbathu Madamaiyada.
