Gautham Menon's new avatar!

First came Minnalae. And Gautham Menon struck box office gold with the speed of lightning. Next came Kakha Kakha, and the engineer turned director fortified his position as a filmmaker of substance. Gautham Menon's films seem to have everything going for them. After the success of Vinnaihaandi Varuvaayaa, the ace director is all set to start his next venture, a low budget thriller. The film will go on floors ahead of the much-awaited Ajith's 50th film.

The latest buzz is that the ace director is all set to start an engineering college in Kerala. Reportedly Gautham has obtained the license to start an engineering college in Thiruvananthapuram and sources say that the college will be named after his mother.
