Chennai: Rumour has it that ace director Bharathiraja approached National Award winning filmmaker Agathian, who has been out of work of late, for a film to be made under his banner. Sources said that the story was set in two landscapes, urban and rural and Santhosh Prathap of KTVI fame and Agathian’s daughter, Vijayalakshmi, were roped in for the new movie.
Sources also added that Oviya, Bharathiraja and his son Manoj Bharathiraja were also part of the film. The movie, though not launched officially, was said to have begun shooting in Kovai a few days ago.
Now tinsel town is abuzz with the rumour that Bharathiraja was not happy with Agathian’s style of working and his reportedly coming late for the shoot, which was wasting time and money.
Apparently, Agathian also had a grouse with Raja, resulting in ego clashes. A stage came when the 16 Vayadhinile director stepped in to wield the megaphone and Agathian had no choice but to leave. Though a few people tried to make peace, nothing seemed to work for the moment.
