“We shot the film in Kodaikanal and did whatever Jai and Anjali required during the shooting times. But everything went in vain. You can’t spot an actor like Jai who wastes the money of a producer” said Nandakumar and went on to explain about an incident that took place in the shooting spot.

“That day director Sinish called actress Anjali by calling her name to narrate her the scene. Jai who was present at the place couldn’t hold his nerve and started shouting at the director for calling her by her name. He demanded Sinish to call Anjali with respect by adding “Madam”. The next day when the whole unit was waiting at a mountain in Kodaikanal, Jai and Anjali went to Chennai without informing anyone. The whole unit shocked and he even denied to attend the promotional events of the film. This will be the same situation for every other director who makes a film with him.” said Nandakumar who further added that the movie Balloon was a disaster and he forgot movie producing due to the attitude of actor Jai.
