Parvathy Nair talks about Thala & Yennai Arindhaal


12/11/2014
Thala's Yennai Arindhaal directed by Gautham Menon has three female leads namely Anushka, Trisha and Parthavy Nair. The Mollywood actress who is also into Kamal Haasan's Uthama Villain recently opened to Times of India and talked about her role in this Thala starrer

Gautham sir is a filmmaker I always looked up to and wished to work with, as he gives a lot of space for women in his movies. All his films show them as strong, admirable personalities. Most of his works like Kakka Kakka figure atop my list of favourites as well. 

They had initially considered a newcomer like me for the role Trisha is playing now. However, since it's a mature role, they later felt I wouldn't be apt for it. I was amazed to see how respectful a filmmaker Gautham Menon is right at our first meeting. An incredibly soft spoken personality, I felt honoured to have met him.

It is just a week since I started working with Yennai Arindhaal team, and the friendliest person on the set is none other than Thala Ajith. He is somebody who waves you a 'hi' even before you would. I have been his fan since my childhood and was extremely happy to learn that in real life too he is a genuine and sweet personality.


About her Role in Yennai Arindhaal ?

I can't divulge much. It is a deglamourised yet bold character and gives me a good space to perform. I am cast opposite Arun Vijay in the film. Anushka and Trisha look quite pretty in the movie and initially, I was not comfortable with my getup. However, the team instilled confidence in me. Once even Ajith said that I should try out this look from now on! (laughs)

Trisha says Anushka is such a Kind Person !


09/10/2014
It's already a known fact that Trisha and Anushka Shetty are a part of Thala 55, Gautham Menon in a recent interview revealed how he managed to pull off this stellar star cast of featuring two leading heroines in one film 

Firstly Anushka Shetty was signed up and then we felt it would be nice if Trisha played the second female lead in the film and hence i asked her, "ஏற்கெனவே அனுஷ்கா இருக்காங்களே… அவங்களைத் தாண்டி, எனக்கு எந்த அளவுக்கு முக்கியத்துவம் இருக்கும்?" Asked Trisha. It was a fair question but before i could explain the role, Trisha said yes i will do the role. I then explained Trisha's hesitance to Anushka, who said 'No problem Gautham ill do her character and she can do mine".

When i told this to Trisha she said I knew Anushka would say like this, She is such a good hearted person. I have no problem i will do my role. Gautham Menon told this dilemma of scripting equal role to Anusha and Trisha to Ajith who said "Ji this all you will do just like that".

  • Hero begins his life in a wedlock when he is 28 years old and the film narration traces the journey of his life for the next ten years till he is 38. This is how GVM summed the story of the film.
  • "ஒரு வெள்ளிக் கொலுசு போல இந்தப் பூமி சிணுங்கும் கீழ அணியாத வைரம் போல அந்த வானம் மினுங்கும் மேல - Ajith sir absolutely loved this lyrics by Thamarai and said this single song completely sums up his entire character in the film.
  • GVM revealed that the getup changes were done by Thala himself after listening to the script. 
  • Ajith sir learnt boxing and Guitar for the film out of his own interest has he felt it would help the role.
  • GVM said Ajith sir fans will love this film a lot. Here is a sample dialogue from the film "Ovvoru ammavum than pillai epdi irunthalum azhagunu thaan solvaanga. Sila samayam poinu therinjum kooda solvaanga. Aana, en amma apdi sonnathu unmai". 
  • GVM said he has still not narrated the climax to Ajith sir. He even asked me "Jii.. Innum neenga climax sollala. Avalo ragasiyama vechirukeengala ‘ஜி… இன்னும் நீங்க கிளைமாக்ஸ் சொல்லலை. அவ்வளவு ரகசியமா வெச்சிருக்கீங்களா?’னு இப்பக்கூட அஜித் சார் கேட்டார். சீக்கிரம் அவர்கிட்ட கிளைமாக்ஸ் சொல்லணும்!”".
  • "You are beautifully maintaining your physique. I feel like hitting the gym whenever I see you. You are my inspiration"told Ajith to Arun Vijay.
  • I was a bit worried on giving both Trisha and Anushka equal roles and told Ajith sir about this He said "Athalam neenga just like that panniduveenga".

Will Gautham Menon work with Suriya Again ?


10/09/2014
Surya and Gautham Menon were a formidable duo in Kollywood, Their combo always resulted in landmark movies in Kaakha Kaakha and Varanam Aayiram. The duo were supposed to complete a hat-trick in Dhruva Natchathiram but Surya pulled out from the movie at last second and made this statement "I feel that myself and Gautham are diametrically opposite in our ideologies. This being the case, I firmly think I won't be able to work together with Gautham."

Gautham Menon in a recent interview was quizzed if he would work with Suriya again ? He is the extract "Right now, I don't see that happening. Somewhere two people have to connect. Whenever I write a script, Trisha has been my first choice for lead because we have a good connect - like I feel with Ajith and the comfort level that I always feel with Simbu... till I feel that connect with somebody, I am not looking to work with that person."
