The film also featured Abbas and newcomer Reemma Sen in significant roles, whilst Menon introduced Harris Jayaraj as music composer with the film. Despite initial reservations, Menon did so and Ratnam was unimpressed however Menon has since cited that he thought that Madhavan "felt sorry" and later agreed to continue with the project. Menon came under further pressure when Madhavan insisted that the film's story was narrated to the actor's mentor, Mani Ratnam, to identify if the film was a positive career move. About the making of the film, Menon revealed that he found it difficult as the team was new to the industry with only the editor of the film, Suresh Urs, being an experienced technician. Menon launched a Tamil romance film O Lala in 2000 with the project eventually changing producers and title into Minnale (2001) with Madhavan, who was at the beginning of his career, being signed on to portray the lead role. He went on to work as an assistant director for Minsara Kanavu (1997), in which he also appeared in a cameo role. His mother insisted that he become an ad film maker by shooting various commercials and he took an apprenticeship under filmmaker Rajiv Menon. During the period, he was inspired by films such as Dead Poets Society (1989) and Nayakan (1987) and expressed his desire to his parents to change his career path and become a filmmaker.
Menon's time at university inspired him to write the lead roles of Minnale, Vaaranam Aayiram, Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa, Neethaane En Ponvasantham and Enai Noki Paayum Thota who were students in the same course. He then earned a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Mookambigai College of Engineering, Pudukkottai. He did his schooling there at the Madras Christian College Higher Secondary School. Although born in Kerala he grew up in Anna Nagar, Chennai. Menon was born to a Malayali father and a Tamil mother on 25 February 1973 in Ottapalam, a town in the Palakkad district of Kerala. 2.5 Return to the action genre, 2015-present.
