Gautham Vasudev Menon is taking a different avatar. The ace filmmaker will dub for Milind Soman’s character in ‘Viththagan’, a film directed by his good friend R Parthiban.

If one has to go by sources, Gautham and Parthiban became very close while working together for the 40th year celebrations of the Directors Association, which held in Chennai on Saturday.

“This proximity between them has made Gautham to lend voice to the villain role played by Bollywood star Milind Soman in ‘Viththagan’. The ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaya’ director is thrilled about his new job”, sources say. Incidentally, Gautham dubbed for Milind in his earlier directorial venture ‘Pachaikili Muthucharam’.

However this is not the first time Gautham is dubbing, he’s dubbed for his characters earlier in ‘Kaakha Kaakha’.

Produced by Seventh Channel, ‘Viththagan’ has Parthiban playing the role of a police officer, who believes his brain than anything else to put an end to criminals and rowdyism. The film has Poorna as heroine.
