“When I was doing Mudhalvan, the dates matters were dealt by my associate director  who talked with S.A. Chandrasekar at that time regarding the call sheet of Vijay. Something does not went well between them which resulted in actor Arjun doing the role. Later, SAC worried that he would have talked with me itself instead of dealing it with a third person.
