Though his much expected Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu is still to grace the theatres as it is plagued by several problems, director Gowtham Menon has not lost his heart. He is hopeful that all issues would be sorted out and the movie would eventually hit the screens.

Meanwhile, the director has almost completed the shooting for his next Silandhi starring Sarath Kumar. Bollywood actress Tabu, who was supposed to act in the film has reportedly pulled out at the last moment and Gowtham has replaced her with a new face from Mumbai.

Meanwhile, Gowtham Menon has taken the route of the likes Shankar, Saran, Cheran and S J Suryah. He has decided to turn a producer with his lucky mascot Suriya playing the hero.

Buzz is that the movie would soon commence and Bollywood's model-turned-actor Milind Soman may play the negative role opposite Suriya.
