Tharun Gopi was the debut director of 'Thimiru' starring Vishal. Though it was a super hit film, there were talks that the film was actually directed by Vishal. He got his next chance in 'Kaalai'.
While shooting for the film, there were talks that Tharun Gopi did not know how to fix a shot and that Simbu alone was directing the film that added to his minus points. There were reports that seeing the preview of the film 'Kaalai,' T Rajender slapped Gopi.
Tharun Gopi is now really angry.
He has challenged that by acting and directing a film, he would become an actor and director of merit. And he is directing a new film.
The film produced by Azhagan on behalf of Madhura Talkies, a new production company, is titled as 'Kattupaya.' Looking at Tharun Gopi sitting on the railway track with a drawn sickle one gets a feeling that Tharun Gopi will succeed in his challenge.
The title 'Kattupaya' sound like an accusation.
