Chiyaan Vikram and Bala's relationship is said to have hit a rough patch when the actor shelved Varma, which was helmed by the director. The latest reports suggest that Vikram has not responded to Bala's invite for the audio launch of Vanangaan
Director Bala is gearing up for the release of Vanangaan, slated to hit the screens on the festive occasion of Pongal. The film¡¯s audio launch is set to take place soon and the special event has created a great deal of buzz among fans. It was recently reported that Bala invited Chiyaan Vikram to attend the function. However, the latest update is that Vikram is yet to respond to the invite.
Chiyaan Vikram ignores Bala¡¯s invite?
Bala played an instrumental role in helping Chiyaan Vikram emerge as a force to reckon with in Tamil cinema. The two teamed up for Sethu (1999), which established the actor as a household name. Given his long association with Vikram, Bala wanted him to grace the audio launch of Vanangaan and also attend the ¡®25 years of Bala¡¯ function. He sent an invite to the I actor, creating a wave of excitement in the industry. However, according to Studio Flicks. Chiyaan Vikram is yet to respond to the invite. This suggests he may not attend the event.
What went wrong between Bala and Chiyaan Vikram?
Chiyaan Vikram shared a strong rapport with Bala, who directed him in Sethu. The two also teamed for Pithamagan. Their relationship, however, is said to have hit a rough patch when Vikram decided to shelve Bala¡¯s Varma, which featured his son Dhruv Vikram in the lead. He then had a new director reshoot the Tamil remake of Arjun Reddy from scratch.
Coming back to the present, Bala is awaiting the release of Vanangaan. The film was originally supposed to be made with Suriya but that did not happen. The director eventually revived the film with Arun Vijay in the lead. Vanangaan is set to hit the screens during Pongal.
Chiyaan Vikram, on the other hand, is awaiting the release of Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2. The action-thriller is directed by SU Arun Kumar. It features Dushara Vijayan and is slated to hit the screens in January 2025.
