Citas

[To show that there is no difference of opinion between you and Sivaji Ganesan, how about if both act in a same movie] Do you sincerely believe that if the movie in which both of us appear, will really be completed? I know the technicalities of movie making. Sivaji also knows the same. How to place a camera in which angle, to project importance to the character portrayed, we both know. Suppose if camera is placed to make him prominent, will I cooperate? Similarly, will he cooperate if the situation is reversed? Will the movie be completed? Even if the movie was completed and released, will the fans of us be tolerant? Who will be responsible, when there is bloodshed in theater?
[There is talk that release of your movies get delayed, and you are the reason for it?] Suppose if I'm the reason for the delay in the release of my movies, I should have released my own production 'Ulagam Suttrum Vaaliban' already. In reality, 'Ulagam Suttrum Vaaliban' which has been in production for many months, gets released in September. But, 'Ithaya Veenai' of Udayam Productions which was started recently gets released for Deepavali. Therefore, I'm not responsible for the delays. It depends on multiple factors.
[There is talk that you have contracted one actress for 5 years, and had refused permission for her to act with other actors?] Why you are beating around the bush? Why not mention Manjula? I'm the one who encouraged her to act with other actors. Shouldn't I be proud about the one who trained under me, can act with other actors?
