Director Gautham Menon is foraying into Malayalam with a cameo in the film Naam, where he plays himself. It must be noted that Gautham Menon was supposed to act in Nivin Pauly's Jacobinte Swargarajyam, but he later opted out of the project due to date issues.
Joshi Thomas Pallickal directs Naam and Aditi Ravi, Gayathri Suresh, Shabarish Varma, Tony Luke and Renji Panicker are part of the film's cast.
Recent reports from Telugu media says that Anushka would be acting in a female-centric film directed by Gautham Menon. We got in touch with our sources close to GVM to know if the speculations are true and this is what they had to say, "Anushka is acting in Gautham's next, but it is not a women-oriented film but the multi starrer Ondraga." The last time Anushka collaborated with Gautham was for Yennai Arindhaal.
Anushka has not signed any films post Baahubali 2's release. She has been working on her Tamil/Telugu bilingual Bhagmati for quite some time now. Now that Bhagmati is in its final phase of production, we could expect more news about Anushka in the coming weeks.
