Prakash Raj’s desire turned down

Do you know that actor cum producer Prakash Raj’s desire on his role in his own production was turned down by the director, who was introduced by him? Viji, the director of Prakash Raj and Prithviraj starrer ‘Vellitherai’, has refused to accept the desire by the producer, who dons an important role in the film. ‘Vellitherai’, dealing with the other side of the glittery world of cinema, has two main characters. One is a famous hero and another one is an assistant director. Prakash plays the hero while Prithviraj plays the assistant director. Prakash is believed to have requested the director to swap the roles between the two but the director did not pay heed to the request. Prakash, the perfect professional, took it in his stride and chose to leave the choice to the director. He has indeed given his outstanding performance in a role, which was not his first choice. Viji got into fame with his dialogue writing skills in the films ‘Azhagiya Theeye’ and ‘Mozhi’, both produced by his mentor Prakash Raj. Now he has been promoted to the position of director in the movie ‘Vellitherai’. Prakash, however, despite giving a top notch performance, gives a tough time to the director by not attending the shooting as per the schedule. Since he is hooked in quite a many projects, he is not able to honor his commitment for his own film.
