Gautham Vasudev Menon reveals his inspiration on ENPT
Filmmaker Gautham Vasudev Menon is on high confidence level about his upcoming film Enai Noki Paayum Thota featuring Dhanush and Megha Akash in lead roles. Albeit the delay, the film has kept everyone on right expectations and the filmmaker has something to say about what inspired him about this film. He says, “It is an interesting one! One day, I sat down thinking of writing a story. No thoughts came forth and I just blankly wrote, ’If ever catch hold of my brother again, I will kill him! There was just no why and how for this! If he had not been there, this bullet will not be directed to me! I want to kill him only for this.”
My mother brought an astrologer in the morning – I never liked astrology! The astrologer told that I would live up to 100 years! I will also kill him if he meets me again.”
Then, the screen switches over to a college – a shooting goes on. He sees a girl there. He talks to her and so on..! I wrote 70% of the story and then left for shooting. I then wrote the balance part of the story after watching Dhanush how he does and how he reacts when angry, etc. I never could write a ‘one-line’ story. I just go on writing as though I am watching a film! This is why I take more time to complete story writing.”
