Producer Michael Rayappan and director Adhik Ravichandran, at a quickly convened press meet last evening, denounced actor Silambarasan for the losses they incurred due to the failure of Anbanavan, Asaradhavan, Adangadhavan, which released earlier this year. Rayappan, speaking to the media, said that he went ahead with the production despite having been warned by other producers to not trust Silambarasan. “But I disregarded their advice,” began Rayappan, “The movie was supposed to start rolling in April, but it went on floors only in July. Even then, Simbu troubled us quite a bit during the shoot in Dindigul. Later, when we moved the sets to Thailand, we waited for him for 10 days with all crew in place, he didn’t turn up.” The producer then added that he was asked to release the film when only 30 per cent was complete. “Simbu wanted us to release the movie in two parts. I told him that the film [part 1] would fail if released as there was no beginning or an end, but he said he would work it out with Adhik, do the second part without remuneration and would also would bear the losses if any.”
