Menon expressed an interest in remaking ''[[Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu]]'' (2006) in Hindi with [[Amitabh Bachchan]] in the lead role, without the love angle, though the project fell through after discussions with [[UTV Motion Pictures]]. In 2012, he started negotiations with producers to make a Hindi version of the film with [[Shah Rukh Khan]] in the lead role.<ref name="srkvv">{{cite web|year=2012|title=Will SRK step into Kamal Haasan's shoes?|publisher=[[Rediff]]|access-date=2012-02-01|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/report/will-srk-step-into-kamal-haasans-shoes/20120123.htm|archive-date=26 January 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120126065044/http://www.rediff.com/movies/report/will-srk-step-into-kamal-haasans-shoes/20120123.htm|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/tamil/2012/jan/25/vettaiyadu-vilayaadu-goes-to-hindi-333754.html|title=‘Vettaiyadu Vilayaadu’ goes to Hindi|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref>
 
===''Chennaiyil Oru Mazhaikaalam'' with TrishaSuriya again===
In July 2007, Menon began work on a youth-centric film titled ''Chennaiyil Oru Mazhaikaalam'' featuring [[Trisha (actress)|Trisha]] in the lead role. He retained the title of his previous shelved film starring [[Suriya]], as producer [[Aascar Ravichandran]], who planned to revive the other project, was not keen on keeping the old title.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20080606222409/http://www.desipundit.com/baradwajrangan/2008/06/05/interview-gautam-vasudev-menon/</ref> For the first time in his career, Menon opted to collaborate with [[A.
