'Varanam Aayiram', Suriya, Sameera Reddy and Divya starrer, faces an unexpected trouble even as 80 per cent of the shooting is said to be completed. Producer Oscar Ravichandiran has filled a complaint against director Gautham Menon for exceeding the budget.
According to the producer, the initial budget was fixed as Rs. 10.5 crores on first copy basis. Later, the producer claims, Gautham demanded an additional 3.5 crores to complete the movie.
Annoyed by the increased budget, the producer has lodged a complaint in Producers' Council against the director. He has said that the increase is unbearable.
However, the sources close to the unit say that the problem would be amicably sorted out soon and the shooting would resume without much delay. The problem in obtaining shooting permission in various places led to the increase in the cost, inform the sources.
The next schedule of the shooting will be held in Delhi, Varanasi and Malaysia. If everything goes well, the movie will hit the halls by the summer season.
