I never diverted the funds: Gautham Menon

Gautham vasudev Menon has been in the news recently for all the wrong reasons. The tiff that broke off between him and young director Karthik Naren has brought disappointment and shock to fans, members of the film fraternity. GVM was allegedly cited as the reason for delay of two films namely ‘Naragasooran’ and ‘Nenjam Marapathillai’.

However, GVM has responded to the issue with an elaborate letter.

While GVM apologised to the way he reacted to Karthik, he also noted that he never interfered with the script but only directed his team to give him what he wanted. “We’ve spent a lot on the film through the investors I brought on board to whom and for which I’m liable and the business is not big enough to divert funds to another film Dhruva Natchathiram which is seven times bigger in size and produced by someone else,” he stated.

GVM also stated that the tiff is a result of miscommunication from vested interests and a non-understanding of how the market works. He also said that the needful will be done so that Arvind Swamy can compete dubbing(reportedly he needed the full remuneration before the dub). As an ending note GVM also expressed that the misunderstanding between him and Karthik has been sorted out and expressed his eagerness in the film seeing the light of the day or the ‘darkness of a cinema hall’.
