Bharathiraja had signed up Iniya and Karthika as the leading ladies for Anna Kodiyum Kodi Veeranum and the shooting is progressing in Theni district. The recent Mullai Periyar issue has now come as a rider on this film progress.
According to sources, Bharathiraja has asked Iniya and Karthika, who are both natives of Kerala, to pack off to their homes as he has no intention of shooting their portions until the Mullai Periyar issue is settled down.
With this issue still unresolved and no sign of compromise for either of the two states involved – Kerala and Tamil Nadu – looks like Bharathiraja is in for a long wait.
