Dhanush’s 2019 release Enai Noki Paayum Thota came under much scrutiny after so many years, ever since its director Gautham Vasudev Menon openly disowned the film. The filmmaker, in many of his interviews, dodged responses to questions asked about the movie and even once simply denied recognizing the film at all. And now, amid all the controversy built up on the matter, the filmmaker cleared the air on his stance.
In a recent interview with Cineulagam GVM addressed the entire controversy over his comment about disowning Enai Noki Paayum Thota and laughed it off as a joke, adding how everything was wrongly interpreted.
Gautham said, “It’s just a joke that I said ENPT isn’t my film. But it was wrongly interpreted. I was not satisfied with its second half, as I faced challenges during the shoot.”
Menon further shared his thoughts and added, “People working in my office told me how my words were misunderstood, though I said them in a lighthearted manner. Hence, I decided to set the record straight. I am not active on social media.”
