Arya was caught in the eye of a storm for his alleged statement, about the Tamil film industry and that actors in Kollywood do not need to be talented to shine, during a function aboard. This was revealed by the FEFSI Chief VC Guhanathan during an audio launch function in Chennai.
Later the Nadigar Sangam condemned VCG for making such ‘irresponsible’ statements so as to tarnish the actor’s image.
Arya, who was maintaining silence over this issue, has now sent a letter to the Nadigar Sangam that he never belittled the Tamil film industry and its work pattern as mentioned by VCG.
