A few years ago, Kollywood was abuzz with the news that ace director Gautham Menon was all set to work with Asin, who was one of the most happening actresses in the Kollywood circuit, at the time. 

But the film 'Chennaiyil Oru Mazhaikalam', never saw the light of day! 

In fact, the film didn't even take off in the first place. Now, we hear that the 'Vaaranam Aayiram' director and the 'Godfather' actor are going to team up, not for a film, but for a television commercial. 

The shoot for the commercial TV series is said to take place in the backwaters of Kerala. 

Gautham has shot many films in the backwaters including the Simbu-Trisha starrer 'Vinnaithandi Varuvaya'. The Kerala backwaters are known to be one of Gautham's favourite shooting locations.

Gautham is currently busy working on his bilingual film, 'Neethanae En Ponvasantham', with Jiiva and Samantha. 

In the meantime, his films, 'Yohan Adhyayam Ondru' starring Vijay and 'Thupariyum Anand' starring Suriya are in production. Not very long ago, it was rumoured that 'Yohan' was shelved, but the shoot for the film is expected to start soon. The director is also filming a Telugu film 'Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu' and an upcoming Hindi flick 'Assi Nabbe Poorey Sau'.

Looks like Gautham Menon plans to bombard the film industry with his upcoming movies and he sure has his hands full!
