Pa. Vijay turns producer?
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,March 04 2008]
Pa. Vijay, the lyricist turned actor, is said to be ready to don another role. He might soon become a producer. The decision is rumoured to be fallout of a predicament faced by ÂThai KaviyamÂ, in which the lyricist plays the lead role. The film, written by the Tamil Nadu CM M. Karunanidhi, is now crippled by a controversy over the expenses made so far.
Sources reveal that, though the movie has been on roll for quite some time, only one and half songs and a few talkie scenes have been finished. The expenses, on the other hand, have touched a whooping amount of Rs. 50 lakhs. The producer, upset by the obvious mismatch, has demanded explanation and detailed accounts. He has even gone to Producers Council to settle things with the director.
Since the producer too is close to the ruling party like Vijay himself, both have been advised by the party circles to settle the issue amicably. As part of the compromise formula, Vijay is said to have offered to pay the amount spent so far and take up the responsibility of the producer of the film. The producer too is believed to have accepted it.
