Filmmaker Pa Ranjith on Wednesday shared a poster of a film titled Anbuselvan. The poster featured filmmaker Gautham Vasudev Menon as the lead. Sharing the poster of the film, Ranjith wrote on Twitter, “Here’s the first look of #AnbuSelvan. So much intensity and impact indeed. Can’t wait to watch the action packed spell of Gautam Vasudev Menon. Best wishes to all”.
After the post went viral, it caught Gautham Menon’s attention who outrightly denied being part of the movie. Quote tweeting his tweet, the ace-director-cum-actor said, "This is shocking & news to me.I have no idea what this film is that I’m supposed to be acting in. I don’t know or haven’t met the director whose name is on this poster. Producer has got big names to tweet this. It’s shocking & scary that something like this can be done so easily." Shortly after he tweeted this, Director Pa Ranjith took down the tweet.
Gautham Menon has now taken to Twitter to share that "There can be only one #anbuselvan" and tagged Actor Suriya. The name 'Anbuselvan' is the name of actor Suriya's character in Gautham Menon's hit film 'Kaakha Kaakha'. (2003) The movie starred Suriya and Jyothika in the lead roles, with Jeevan playing the main negative role.
