Most of your films potrays violence against women in a more violent manner. Any particular reason.

Hello Gautham sir I'm a big fan of you. Am a B.Tech graduate working a S/W company now, my ambition is to become a director. Will you accept me as your assistant? I'll explain about me in detail personally sir, my e-mail id is velayudhambio@gmail.com.

Hey, I'm Jophcy from London. Saw vtv so many times and still can't get it out of my head! I'm a big fan of your romantic subjects and they way you treat romance in your movies. What is your next project? is it another romantic story?
no idea
Your movies need a tighter screenplay so that it can come to Hollywood class- you can avoid extended scenes which I think can be covered in a couple of shots- this is the only drawback I observe in your movies
okay

Right from minnale we where able to see a trend setting or a kind of modern approach in your movies, is it that coz you where educated or the people around you? Simbucentral
educated
The film VTV was super, I think Mannipaaya song lyrics doest suit the situation. Is there any reason for that ?
we think it did
The train episode and the song could have been right out of my life. Has something like that happened in yours?
yes
Mr. Gautham, I'm a big fan of yours. Does all your movie reflects a real life story? or your own imagination?
partly both
Will you repeat Trisha for your Ajith film?She looked awesome in VTV!!

Do you believe in the concept of 'true love'? Do you think two people who are not together and never will be, could still be in love?
yes yes
Hi Gautham, am great fan of ur films. why do u always have upper middle class characters in ur film? Is that bcos u grown up in Anna nagar ?
yes
Congratulations on the success of VTV! When you start writing a script, do you already have the whole picture in your head or do you simply go with the flow? When you started writing VTV, did you know how it was going to end, or was it a conscious choice?
i write the climax after we start filming
