In an interview with a leading Tamil magazine, director Gautham Menon has said that the song ‘Thalli Pogathey’ from his film Achcham Yenbathu Madamaiyada may not feature in the film. He had planned to shoot the song in Turkey, after completing the shoot for the song ‘Enai Noki Paayum Thota’. However, he said, “Naga Chaitanya, the lead actor of the Telugu version turned up for the shoot. But Simbu never did. We tried contacting him. That’s when he told us that we can shoot it in Chennai. I’m still waiting for him. If he shoots the song, we can see it on screen. If not, the fans will have to forgive me.”

Gautham Menon said that the shooting of ‘Thalli Pogathey’ and the dubbing of Simbu’s portions haven’t yet been completed.
Meanwhile, T Rajendar, Simbu’s father has said that STR had not attended the shoot because the producers have not paid him a pending sum of Rs. 6 lakhs.
