Venkat Prabhu Confirms Shelved Film with Sivakarthikeyan, Denies Rift
Director Venkat Prabhu confirmed that his planned film with actor Sivakarthikeyan has been shelved, clarifying there are no hard feelings between them. The delay was partly due to frustrations expressed by Venkat's father, Gangai Amaran, who criticized an unnamed actor for causing setbacks. Venkat explained he does not discuss professional details with his father and attributed the project's halt to various reasons. He expressed openness to future collaborations with Sivakarthikeyan and wished him well on his current film.
