Gautham Menon, who has worked with Naga Chaitanya in films like Ye Maaya Chesave and the recent Saahasam Swaasaga Saagipo, said that he plans to introduce the actor in Tamil films too. “He speaks good Tamil and I want to capitalize on it and work with him in a Tamil film. I want to introduce him to the Tamil film industry,” Menon told Times of India.
Praising the actor on his performance in Saahasam Swaasaga Saagipo, Menon said “He has now matured as an actor. When it came to acting, I didn’t advice him much, it was all natural. YMC was his second film and he needed advice back then. Now, he knows what the director wants and goes with the flow.”
