AYERATHIL ORUVAN CROSSES BEYOND BUDGET LIMITS

(By N.THYAGARAJAN)

What is the reason for the delay in filming the Tamil film Ayerathil Oruvan ? Ayerathil Oruvan director Selvaraghavan says, the film could not be completed as per the budget. The expenditure of the film had gone beyond the allotted money to produce the film. In the film, Paruthi Veeran Karthik is the hero. Recently, the shooting unit went to Kerala forest area to shoot the film. More than 500 film unit members participated in the schedule. But, due to incessant rain in the forest the scenes of the film could not be shot and the producer had to burn his fingers heavily, since, he had to make payments to all those who did their work. Says the director," Even before, the shooting commenced, I have narrated the story to the producer, who had accepted that the shooting be carried out in forest area. Hence, for the heavy expenditure, I should not be blamed. It was due to the nature calamities, the shooting did not take place for more than 15 days".

Many say that any film with Karthi as actor would have some problems before its release, but the film would be success after its release. This they say citing his first film's incident which also faced some problems before its release.

However, there was no dispute between the producer and the director, Selvaraghavan says.
