Actor-filmmaker Prabhudheva's comeback Tamil directorial
"Karuppu Raja Vellai Raja" has been stalled for a while and not shelved, a
source from the production team has clarified.
Prabhudheva's last Tamil
directorial was 2011 film "Vedi".
"Karuppu Raja Vellai Raja" went on the
floors earlier this month and it stars Vishal, Karthi and Sayyeshaa.
"The
team even shot for four days. Unfortunately, the shoot had to be stalled because
both Karthi and Vishal walked out citing date issues. The makers haven't shelved
the project but plan to commence work with new male leads. This process might
take a while," a source from the film's unit told IANS.
Meanwhile,
Prabhudheva might direct a Hindi project.
"He has some commitment in
Bollywood. He might finish that project and come back and finish this film," the
source added.
The film has been written by late writer-director K.
Subash.
Prabhudheva had earlier told IANS that he would like to dedicate
the film to Subash.
"When I met him last year, he told me he wasn't sure
if he would be around to see the film. I told him everything is going to be
alright. Unfortunately, he left us even before we could start the project. I
would like to dedicate this film to him," Prabhudheva had said.
Subash is
known for directing the 1990 Vijayakanth-starrer "Sathriyan", and even penned
the script for the Shah Rukh Khan's "Chennai Express".
