The feud between director Lingusamy and
actor Silambarasan has taken an ugly turn
with the actor going public with his clarifications
on media reports that Lingusamy has sacked
him from his next project.
Silambarasan, whose undertone lover-boy
performance in VTV was greatly appreciated
by fans and critics, was first signed up
by Lingusamy's production house Tirupathi
Brothers for a movie to be directed by Bhoopathy
Pandiyan. Later it was announced that the
film will be produced by Dayanidhi Azhagiri's
Cloud Nine Movies and Lingusamy will direct
it.
In a statement released today, Silambarasan
clarified that he did not "technically"
sign any film with Cloud Nine Movies. He
also told that Dayanidhi Azhagiri is his
close friend and they both share a good
rapport. Referring to the director, Silambarasan
told that Lingusamy never narrated the script
for the movie. "I waited for over 100
days in vain for his complete script and
then decided to do Vaanam," he had
said.
A visibly agitated Simbhu said he was shocked
to see reports that he has been sacked from
Lingusamy's project. "I had told him
that I will be free from September 1. But
he jumps the gun and announces that I have
been replaced by another actor! This is
totally unprofessional and not done,"
he concluded.
