He claimed that Silambarasan wanted to cut the movie into two parts and stop the shooting. In an interview, while talking about Silambarasan’s behaviour, he said,
When I realised things were getting out of hand, I wanted to stop the shooting. I told the producer that doing part 1 and part 2 for the movie will be a problem. But the producer spoke to him and said that things will be sorted out. Even my reputation has taken a beating.” [1]The News Minute
