Suriya dumps Gautham Menon !

Actor Suriya who was to work in a film next with Gautham Menon titled Dhruva Natchathiram, has official backed out of the project. While there were speculation as to whether Suriya would work with Gautham Menon of Lingusamy for his next film, the official statement has cleared the air and Suriya next with Lingusamy will kick start soon in November.

"During June 2012, I had entered into an agreement with Mr Gautham Vasudev Menon to act as the Hero in a film to be produced and directed by him. While this is a knwon fact, I am sad to inform that we are now at a juncture where I will no longer be able to work in this project. Based on my experience thus far as an actor, I have been only accepting scripts that are close to my heart and which I can resonate with.

I have very clearly shared my expectations with Mr Gautham and only after he completely accepted we signed the agreement. However even after a lapse of a year, I am yet to receive a complete script. I did supprt him despite my hesitation when wanted to perform the pooja ceremony and the test shoot, out of respect for him as a creator. Even after sis months since completion of my previous film, Singam 2, I was anxiously waiting to receive the complete script to my satisfaction. However all I have received so far is only incomplete script and few scenes. I am left without any hint of when a full script will ever be ready and delivered.
While I reckon that a film is a team effort, I have realized that the films I had undertaken without complete conviction have not performed well. I wish to express that I have done all in my might to make this project happen.
To sum up, I would like to mention that all I have been asking is a complete story line and bound script which only fair to be provided to an actor. Now, it has come to a point where I have lost valuable time and cannot affors to wait any further. Hence with deep sense of pain I have taken the decision to exit the project."
