'No ego clashes,' Ram makes it clear. To put the record straight, Ram chipped in himself to clarify that the reason for his opting out of Gautham Menon's Nithya was issues with dates. Earlier he had believed that it was going to be a bi-lingual but the last minute decision to make it into a tri-lingual (in Hindi as well), made him have second thoughts about it.

He indicated that he was happy when Gautham told him that he wanted to make the film with him in the lead. (This gets a bit confusing because the director told a Chennai-based daily edition that Ram was never part of the project in the first place. Does that mean that he had only evinced interest in Ram but did not give a final nod?)

Ram says that he will spend all his energies on Endukante.. Premanta for now. He is hopeful of coming up with a "better project" in future.
