He wrote, ” This is an Unfinished film with the Producer who had Defaulted on Monies and on Completion. Haven’t Met them for Over a year. This is His Idea of Raising Money in The Markets By Cheating More People.”
In reply to his tweet producer, Rajarajan wrote that it is the director to decide that if the film is finished or not. He wrote, ” The Director is the one Who Decides Whether the film is Complete or Not… Let the Audience decide Whether this Film is Complete or Not. Almost 60 Days of Shoot and Crores of Money Invested, Nobody will Release an Unfinished Movie.”
Tagging Sathyasiva he further wrote, “A director Decides the Script.” The actor gave a “Thumbs Up” in reply.
