'Bodhai Kodhai' released in June 2018 and featured actors Atharvaa Murali and Aishwarya Rajesh. Two years later, Gautham Menon, Karthik and Madhan Karky have revived Ondraga Originals with 'Oru Chance Kudu'.
Earlier last month, Gautham Menon released a short film titled Karthik Dial Seytha Yenn, reviving the love story from his feature film that released 10 years ago. This video was directed remotely by Gautham Menon, since the lockdown restricted a traditional shooting method.
Actors Trisha and Simbu who played the lead roles in Gautham Menon’s Vinnaithaandi Varuvaya were back on screen once again, in this short story, more of a phone conversation, set during the novel coronavirus pandemic. The video, which is available on YouTube, received mixed responses from the audience.
