Director Gautham Menon has come
with a unique idea of setting up
a Rs. 100-crore fund for Tamil films,
which is said to be the first in
Kollywood. The fund can be utilized
by production houses for making
films, promos, purchasing film and
song rights etc.
Gautham plans to add in more people
to this venture and that is not
limited to film personalities alone.
The director, who owns the production
house, Photon Factory, said to the
Economic Times, “We are speaking
to many people and have begun work
on getting it registered. We want
to get it rolling by November. A
lot of people asked me if they could
partner us in the films we make,
which is how the idea of launching
such a fund with investments from
non-industry people came about.”
Gautham, who has directed smash
hits like Minnale, Kaaka Kaaka and
Vettaiyadu Vilayadu is currently
on the Silambarasan-Trisha starrer
Vinnaithandi Varuvaya. |
