Answering this stinging comment, the commercial king of directors, Perarasu has asked if Nasser is against such movies why does he set double standards by acting in such movies and yet make negative comments on it. Coming down heavily on Nasser he said in that case he should not have acted in movies like Padayappa.

Reacting to this, Nasser in a damage control move has said that he was not against commercial films but was voicing his anxiety that in a movie that last approximately three hours, 30 minutes are devoted for songs and stunt sequences. Consequently this brings down the time in which the actors can bring out the best of their performance. Moreover, Nasser said that if he is entirely against commercialization of movies he would not have added six songs in his movie Avatharam.
