He tried to drown Sameera

No one would have faith in their directors like Sameera Reddy did. Apparently, when Director Gautham Menon offered her Nadunisi Naigal, the leggy lass accepted it without asking for any other details. “Later when I heard that Veera will be playing the main role I thought it was a big joke. But all credit to Veera, I think he has come a long way and he worked very hard to prove himself,” says Sam.

Veera has been Gautham’s assistant director since Vaaranam Aayiram and so Sameera has known him for long and they are immensely comfortable with each other. Veera is also all praises for Sameera and observes that her role in NN is tough and demanding which is generally scripted for heroes and that the actress did full justice to it. They also let it slip that there is a scene in the film where Veera, who plays a psycho, drags Sameera by the hair and tries to drown her in a tub of water. Now, that sends a chill down our spine. We cannot wait for the Nadunisi Naigal to be unleashed.

Nadunisi Naigal – Tollywood’s Sigappu Rojakkal?

Director Gautham Menon has announced that Nadunisi Naigal, which is slated for release on January 26th, 2011, will be released in Telugu under the title Erra Gulabeelu. The Telugu title literally means Sigappu Rojakkal and this led to the guesswork that the film is inspired by the yesteryear hit of the same name in which Kamal Haasan and Sri Devi played the lead roles. 
 
Gautham organized a press meet in Hyderabad recently to announce the Telugu version of NN and this meet was attended by Sameera Reddy, Veera Bahu, Gautham Menon, Telugu actor Srikanth, and filmmaker Rama Naidu. NN is directed by Gautham Menon and stars debutant Veera and Sameera Reddy.
 
The trailer of this film is expected to be released during the audio launch of Veppam, a production venture of Gautham.

GAUTAM’S MIDNIGHT METAPHOR!

t’s probably not news that Nadunisi Naaygal, directed by Gautam Menon, is a thriller. However, what appears to be new is that, more than half of the movie’s portions have been shot in or around midnight which also means that the title reference is not only metaphorical, but literal as well.

Nadunisi Naaygal will also set a few benchmarks for the genre of thriller movies in Tamil cinema. The significant element of fear-inducing background score usually present in thriller movies will not be present in Nadunisi Naaygal. Gautham has done away with it and the movie also does not have any songs to its credit. Starring Sameera Reddy in a prominent role, it is expected to hit the screens soon.
