This was a misunderstanding perpetuated by circumstances. Bharathiraja and Bhagyaraj are teacher and disciple, we all know that. However, as luck would have it, they found themselves on the opposite sides of two rival camps when film makers and unit workers were facing off over many issues. Bhagyaraj was forced by circumstances to take a pro-worker stance. Having been ideologically separated, it was difficult for them to work together again. However, their personal rapport remains unaffected.
