Director Rajkumar Periyasamy has reacted strongly to the rumors doing the rounds on social media about ‘Be aware:‘ and his upcoming film ‘OM’ starring: Dhanush. Speculation claims that ‘Amaran’ has undergone major reshoots on the producer’s advice Kamal Haasan and that the filmmaker is reshooting many scenes for ‘OM’ again. As the claims gained traction online, Rajkumar responded publicly, vehemently denying the reports and calling out those who spread what he described as false narratives.
Rajkumar Periyasamy in rumours
Responding through a comment on Instagram, Rajkumar Periyasamy rejected each and every allegation. He wrote, “WHAT DO YOU GET BY SETTING FAKE NARRATIVES ALWAYS?? WHO TELLS YOU ALL? NO RESHOOT! NO SUCH CORRECTIONS GIVEN BY KAMAL HAASAN SIR.” He further praised the veteran actor and producer for trusting his vision, saying, “When he saw ‘Amaran’ once during the post-production stage, his tears and words of gratitude. And as a producer, he gave me all the freedom to make the film I wanted.
The director protects the creative freedom and effort behind filmmaking
Rajkumar also expressed his frustration at the repeated attempts to undermine the work of a filmmaker. “A director works for years to make a movie that he envisions. Most directors are not given the credit they deserve, but it’s a sin to make it all seem pointless when those narratives are pushed again,” he wrote. “This is the third time I have seen the same statement from you and I chose to ignore it at first, but it is encouraging to your kind,” he added, pointing out that this is not the first time such reports have surfaced. He also reminded critics that reshooting a movie is not simple or casual, stressing that it requires a lot of planning, responsibility and money.
The focus returned to Dhanush’s ‘OM’ after the clarification
Now, the speculation has ended with his clarification, and the focus has shifted to Rajkumar Periyasamy’s next project, ‘OM,’ in which Dhanush will star alongside Mammootty. Sai Pallavi and Sreeleela. The film is one of the most anticipated Tamil releases of the year and will hit the theaters in October. Rajkumar reiterated his faith in his work with his blunt denial of the rumors surrounding ‘Amaran’ and ‘OM,’ making it clear that misleading reports should not overshadow the efforts of the entire filmmaking team.
