Addressing the production hurdles, he revealed, “I struggled to get the lead actor’s dates as Dhanush was occupied with Vada Chennai. This forced me to complete the film in a short time.” Despite these issues, he reaffirmed that he produced the movie and that the first half stayed true to his vision.

Reports also suggest that Menon and Dhanush had creative differences during the filming. However, the director did not comment on their rumored fallout.

Enai Noki Paayum Thota was co-produced by P. Madhan and Venkat Somasundaram and featured Dhanush, Megha Akash, and M. Sasikumar in key roles. The film’s music was composed by Darbuka Siva, while cinematography was handled by Jomon T. John and Manoj Paramahamsa.

With this clarification, Gautham Menon hopes to put the controversy to rest and reaffirm his connection to the film.
