One of Gautham Vasudev Menon's most famous films has to be Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa from 2010, starring Trisha Krishnan and Simbu in the key roles. The director recently disclosed on Sudhir Srinivasan's podcast that the movie was originally written for Mahesh Babu with a very different conclusion.

In the discussion, Gautham didn't use Mahesh's name, but he did say that he wrote Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa for a "big superstar" whose family was making the movie in Telugu. With Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Mahesh's sister Manjula Ghattamaneni had created the Telugu adaptation, Ye Maaya Chesave.

He claimed that in the six days that followed his signing to write a movie, he wrote a love story, not an action film, as it came to him "naturally." “My initial draft had a different conclusion. He will be working on a film set, in fact. Chiranjeevi sir will be the actor in the movie. This girl is now getting married, finally, somewhere else. He wants to be there for the wedding in some way, even if they have moved on. The protagonist questions him about what's wrong when he seems upset on set. He books him a chopper when he informs him. I created a cinematic version," Gautham said.

But because he didn't want to play the lead in a love tale, Mahesh rejected the movie when he told him about it. "When I narrated it to the hero, he said everyone will expect us to do an action film. I didn't want to do this because I anticipated the same. The director said that I then brought it to a star of comparable size in Telugu, but he experienced the same problem.
