'Alex Pandian' shoot interrupted, alleges Gnanavel RajaPGV [ Thu, Mar 15, 2012 ]
- Director Suraaj's 'Alex Pandian' starring Karthi and Anushka is caught in a war of nerves. Two days ago, the shooting of the film near Meenambakkam was allegedly interrupted. Lightmen who were alleged to come to the sets around 7 a.m. came very late. Their late arrival created problems for the film unit and the shooting was interrupted. On hearing this, representatives of the Tamil Film Producers Council visited the spot. Producer Gnanavel Raja told mediapersons that he and director/actor Ameer were fighting a legal battle over money matters in regards to 'Paruthiveeran' and that he have been stressed to have the problem sorted out through talks. He had also received indirect threats, he alleged. Now problems were created to disrupt the shooting of 'Alex Pandian', Raja said.
When contacted, Ameer told reporters that he didn't know why lightmen had gone to the shooting spot late. Ganavel Raja was unnecessarily dragging his (Ameer's) into it. The last and final round of talks on wage rise for directors, lightmen and technicians was scheduled for March 14. Turning the table against Gnanavel Raja, Ameer said it seemed a deliberate try to malign him and forestall him (Ameer) from participating within the talks. Regardless of the hurdles he would attend the talks, Ameer said..
