Mirukam film director Samy who was barred from directing Tamil films for a year's time is not in talking terms with Padma Priya who had brought a dispute against the director. When contacted, the director told, that Padma Priya had done her role well and he said that her acting in Mirukam was 90 percent appreciable. However, the director said, had she listened to his instructions without any infights the film would have come up well. But, the director is happy over the outcome of the Mirukam release and he said that many people wanted his direction in the Tamil film and expected that soon his punishment would be waived by them.

When talking about the film's story, that once he saw literally a pregnant woman was beaten up by her husband. The incident, he said, had settled down all those years and he wanted to utilise the scene when the opportune knocks him. Similarly, he was moved by the Ratha Kanneer film. That was also his second incident, which he wanted to use it in some other way. The director reasoned out the birth of the story Mirukam to a group of newsmen.

Now, Samy is concentrating on some other stories. Soon he is going to produce other film based on love. He wants the familiar faces for his film. He said he had another option, that if any actors or actresses refuse to act in his next film, he would simply go with the production with new faces.
