Fall out of Gautam Vasudev Menon and Suriya
It is now on public as a news that the combo - director gautam vasudev menon and actor suriya parted their ways.
Certainly this is one of the low period for both the actor and the director. The to be underlined fact is no one should ever set into a combo and that too named as winning combo. For a director, it should be the script which asks to select an actor and not the script should be woven to suit the image of an actor or to appease the actor. Naturally, when your films are not doing well and a director turns it in one film, you had faith to give another hit. This is ordinary psychology. But the combo will only set for actors who are bound to release their films one per year. It should be remembered that Rajinikanth in one of his recent function said that he is in alone at the top and there is no people [directors] around him who have given hits with him.
After the musical hit of vinnaithandi varuvaya, a much festivity was created and celebrated with Ilayaraja for the film neethane en ponvasantham. But all those moments can be made forgiven with the recent accolades of mysskin-ilayaraj combo in the film onayum aatukkutiym. There is no songs only bgm. There is no on-stage performances but only the scores in the movie talked much.
With the initial success in the films like kaaka kaaka and vettaiyadu vilayadu, gautam vasudev menon turned again to the love stories which was repeated in its style without any much changes and this is one of the reason that neethane en ponvasantham didnt fare well. There was a mindset with the people that this is going to be gautam vasudev menon's film and this will be like that and so it is tough to crack the psychology which was cemented in the conception of people's mind.
Guess like this, what he can give yet another script with suriya, may be another love story. Since suriya has been into action movies in his earlier films, it is normal to expect a soothing love film. What will be the script?
Absolutely it is going to be a struggling one.
Again taking cue from Rajinikanth's advice, not to reduce the films one at a time and to do films two or three at a time and to be financially good for the young actors. This is what in the recent interview, vikram prabhu informed on why he is acting in 3 films at a time. To be a professional, you need to do for what you have been paid, which is acceptable to yours.
There is no comedian, villains [all actors] complaining that the script is not good enough to accept the role. Because it is the film counts which keeps them living. Be it good or bad. It is only the heroes, [actors] who is very selective about the scripts. Except few like parthiban, satyaraj, prabhu, karthick who are very much eager to share screen space with young actors nowadays given that they had decent screenspace alloted to them without their dignity and respect affected, which so far they earned in this industry. If you see the above said actors, they will be in part of many multi-starrers, because there is no ego for them.
Being some months idle without any film offers, that space was already filled with siva, vijay sethupathy, siva karthikeyan, siddharth, new comers who are willing to work as a team. Definitely it is too late for suriya to get apart from gautam vasudev menon and it is his statistics tells that in 3 years he acted in 3 films, which is not a fair amount considering his experience and longevity in the industry and with karthi acting in more films than him, it is a difficult position for him.
Be it over-confidence or an image trap...both will benefit in future which will make better options and different combos be it successful or failure.
Let us say, this is a quiet genuine split out without adding ugly rumours for articles, magazines and gozzips much for image damage but as suriya given in written statement and made it clear. It is now on gautam vasudev menon to face questions from others like media and friends on why this has happened. Certainly this is more difficult position to gautam vasudev menon who was already in not good position than suriya.
