Director Gautham Menon began his career as an ad filmmaker assisting cameraman-turned-director Rajiv Menon. But after his debut Minnale he has been missing in the ad circuit.
However, that stat is about to change as Gautham has been signed on by a soft drink major to do a TV commercial for them. And what's more, the ad will feature a heroine whom he would have rightly introduced if not for the project being dropped. we hear that Gautham was very reluctant to accept the project but the soft drink company insisted and finally persuaded the director to agree to it.
The actress is none other than Asin, whom Gautham had earlier signed on for Chennaiyil Oru Mazhaikkalam in 2003. When that project fell through, he later cast her in the Telugu version of Kaakha Kaakha.
Gautham will be shooting the ad in the backwaters of Kerala and is currently in God's Own Country scouting locales and preparing for the shoot.
