The speech by director Vignesh Sivan at the first look launch of Sivakarthikeyan-starrer ‘Remo’ stirred a controversy, as he had said it was Anirudh who supported him in tough times.
These did not go down well with Simbu fans, as they said it was their favourite star who gave Vignesh Sivan the opportunity to direct ‘Poda Podi’.
Following this, the ‘Naanum Rowdy Dhaan’ maker came out with a clarification on Twitter. “I have not mentioned that Anirudh sir introduced me to lyrics! Please don’t make this up like that! I have said he has always supported me from the struggling times ..”
“STR sir gave me my first film yes But after the film, I went through a struggling phase and many people have helped me cross that including Simbu sir himself.. At that time Anirudh used to gimme work opportunities through lyrics n music videos which kept me active n take care of my family.. ” Vignesh said.
“Dhanush sir later gave me another chance for living through NaanumRowdyDhaan n I have really worked my way here .. It would take 15 minutes for me to say the whole history in the shortest form n ReMo stage had only a minute for me and I thanked the team around there n it’s their stage! It would have not been appropriate to start from my first film!”, he stated.
“ReMo stage had only a minute for me and I thanked the team around there n its their stage! It would have not been appropriate to start from my first film ! In the very few interviews of mine I have always thanked Simbu sir n have never gotten acknowledged by u people! I don’t know why suddenly u r making this up out of nowhere ! I didn’t mention even about my mom and Dad .. Cos its not that kind of an Event”, he added.
