The film which has actor Vijay in three different dimensions such as a Football player, a local gangster and as a coach for a state football team, was made in a budget of 180 crores. Unlike other Vijay movies, “BIGIL” is facing controversies since the first day of shoot. Assistant director KP Selvah claimed that the story of BIGIL belongs to him and registered case against the makers.

While talking about the nuances of being a film producer in Tamil film industry, Rajan shared many of personal experiences in this interview. While talking about Bigil collecting 300 crores in box office, Rajan said that Bigil has made no profit at all. “I have inquired a distributed who did distribution for Bigil in two areas. As Bigil had no competition for 2 long weeks, it received a decent footfall in theatres. But the distributor whom I inquired couldn’t pay the interest for the loan he bought. He could only managed to get the original amount with which he bought the film.” said Rajan in the interview.

Further he added that there is no film deserved to loss if it has Vijay or Ajith as lead. “If the director plans well for the shooting of a film, there is no need for a film to face loss. Instead of removing most of the scenes in editing table which were shot, a filmmaker should plan and shoot in a proper way. It is the only way for a film to get success” he added.
