Gautham Vasudev Menon is a busy director, with ENPT and Dhruva Natchathiram simultaneously under production. In an exclusive interview with Behindwoods, GVM reveals how he extracts music from his directors and how he faced criticism from people for Thalli Pogathey's placement.

"Rahman sir asked me multiple times if I like Thalli Pogathey. He said we can rework the tune and change it. I said it is mindblowing and that he gave a song for the situation I wanted. After the song became popular, we went for the shoot only after 2 months.

At that time, many people asked me not to retain this situation as the song has become successful. They asked me not to place it during the accident. But I decided not to change it as I got the essence of the song by narrating this situation and it is a script based song."
