Payya failed to commence as its male lead
Karthi was held up with his project Aayirathil
Oruvan. In Nayan's complaint to the Nadigar
Sangam, she had stated that she was blackmailed
by the producers that the film's shooting
would commence only if she agrees to reduce
her salary. The actress said that she wasted
three months of time waiting for the film
to commence and she would return the advance
amount only if she is duly compensated.
Now even the Producer's council is likely
to rule in favour of Nayan since many call
sheets of actors are wasted by producers
and directors who book them and block them
in the peak season. The actors say no to
other projects, to find out in the end that
the project they signed for will be very
delayed or cancelled. If the producer then
asks for the advance back –though
it is no fault of the actor-what then happens
to the time the actor sacrificed for the
project?
