A heartfelt speech from Parthiban during the audio launch of Annakodiyum Kodiveeranum has left its director Bharathiraja in a contemplative mood.

It seems that Parthiban was initially selected for a role in the movie but was unceremoniously replaced with another actor without even being informed. Still Parthiban took the pains to travel to Madurai where the audio launch took place to deliver an emotional speech in his inimitable style. It is being said that Parthiban left as soon as he delivered his speech since he had to catch a train immediately.

In a speech by Bharathiraja that followed, the ace director had publicly lauded Parthiban for his gesture despite being left out of the project and also exclaimed that he now feels guilty of dropping the actor from his film.
