Cheran’s Statement About Vishal And Karthi!

Director Cheran has released a statement regarding his speech about Karthi and Vishal. He states, “Recently, I gave a speech at the introductory function of the contestants of Nadigar Sangam Elections. I supported R. Sarathkumar and criticized Vishal and team. This made many people worry. I too had a feeling, whether I overreacted at that moment. I know R. Sarathkumarr from 90’s. He is a good-hearted person, who helps people without looking at the time and situation. Even, I have approached him at midnight to help for the heart surgery of a boy called Prakash. I have sought his help for an assistant director’s surgery. Many times, I have approached him for some educational needs. Apart from this, I know his sincerity and dedication. He has worked hard for Nadigar Sangam. Even "Nassar" is my friend. I have discussed with Nassar about the film industry. I don’t have any bad impression on Nassar, "Ponvannan", and "Karunas". But, why I am angry with Vishal and Karthi? I want to open everything from my heart. These two people are the upcoming actors. I am a senior to both of these people. I don’t compel anyone to act in my film. But, nothing is wrong in suggesting an actor to perform in a particular character if a director feels good. I too felt the same. I tried to contact Vishal many times, but my attempts ended in failure. At last, I contacted him and met him at Taj Hotel and narrated a story. Vishal listened to my story along with his brother. They both liked the story and agreed to do a movie with me. I didn’t get any information from Vishal and his brother, even after a week. I got information that Vishal is going to do a Bala movie. He has every right to reject my movie. But, he didn’t say. I have narrated the story nearly for 2 hours, and I am not insane to spend 2 hours. I sent an SMS to him regarding the film. After 4 days, his brother replied, “we are doing a movie with "Bala". So, let us do your movie, a little later.” After that, there is no reply from their side. Recently, Vishal fought against the pirated CDs. I called him and appreciated him. I too fought for the same, by opening C2H, with 3000 youngsters. I didn’t get any appreciation from Vishal. It hurt me. I felt that he didn’t have any social thinking. Karthi is a good boy, and he is my friend Suriya Sivakumar’s brother. I have met him during his debut and narrated a story to him. But, he didn’t prefer the story that depicts a good relationship between a brother and a sister. After a few years, I tried to contact him, but I did not get the opportunity to meet him. I am just telling these two youngsters; you need not act in my movie. I may not be a good director upon your vision. I have received just 4 National Awards. But, you both did not have the courtesy to reply the senior properly, then how will you understand their feelings and run a society? I was worried about this, and the resultant was the angry speech at the introductory function. Similarly, " J K Rithesh During the Nadigar Sangam elections, many actors m >> Read More...

But, please don’t comment that I have done this to get their dates for my next movie.”
