Other than Naga Chaitanya and Nani, the two romantic heroes targeting audiences with soft films, seems like rest bunch of star heroes are not interested in director Gautham Menon. With Charan too rejecting this director's movie proposal in the end, talk has started about the possible causes behind that.

When Gautham Menon was directing Naga Chaitanya, already Mahesh Babu okayed a story narrated by the director. Though 'Ye Maya Chesave' is a big hit, Mahesh's project is kept off. It was heard that Mr Menon's realistic looking commercial ideas haven't excited our hero. Also he's taking huge time to wrap a flick and that affects production costs. Similarly Ram Charan is said to be waiting for him to narrate a cop-drama like Raghavan or Gharshana, but he presented him a love story. Charan has opted out of the project for Gautham Menon's love stories being too elongated and dramatic.

Many top Tamil directors are running after Telugu biggies for dates. Filmmakers like AR Murugadoss, Linguswamy and Venkat Prabhu are requesting big Telugu stars to star in their movies. But when some of those stars gave a chance to Gautham Menon, he has truly failed to utilize it.
