Film maker Gautham Vasudev Menon has been in a rough patch in the industry for over a decade. In the past six years he has delivered just two ventures. Ennai Nokki Paayum Thota with actor Dhanush in the lead was the last drama to hit the screens under his direction. The entertainer opened up to negative reviews and did not do well in the box office. The Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu director is now gearing up for the release of his upcoming gangster drama dubbed Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu with actor Silambarasan in the lead. The movie which went on floors a long while back is nearing the end line after crossing many hindrances. It is a known thing that music director A. R. Rahman is composing the music for the film. He is collaborating with director Gautham Vasudev Menon once again after Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa, Achcham Yenbadhu Madamaiyada, and Enai Noki Paayum Thota.
