An unexpected incident occurred in the event as the filmmaker happened to throw his mic at Robo Shankar, a famous actor who was hosting the show. The filmmaker understood his mistake and immediately apologized for losing his cool.

Apart from acting in films, Parthiban has also been busy with his film, Iravin Nizhal. The film’s first song launched May 1 at a grand event in Chetpet, Chennai. At the event, Rahman and Parthiban were conversing with each other. Parthiban asked Rahman what kind of introduction would make the song look good and the musician replied “people are waiting for a long time already, lets play the song”

After that, Parthiban gestured the technicians to initiate playing the song and Robo Shankar who was about to announce the release of the song by giving it an introduction, said that need a microphone to make the announcement. Losing his cool, Parthiban threw the microphone at Robo Shankar saying “you should have asked this before”. This behaviour from the seasoned filmmaker left audience and AR Rahman in a shocked state.

Now, giving clarification about the same, Parthiban released a 10 minute long video. Showing the injury that occurred due to the physical strain he faced in the single release, Parthiban said that people think his gesture of throwing the mic is a preplanned one to promote his film and confirmed that it’s not like that. The filmmaker said that he was very much conscious about the presence of a achiever like A.R Rahman.

“Rahman’s nod to do music for the film encouraged me to go for it. I felt extremely happy and I see him as a huge personality and he sees the film the same way as well” Parthiban said. “The mental pressure I went through to arrange a huge event like this for a release of a song single, my consciousness about A.R Rahman’s presence and the physical pressure I faced while presenting a shield made me to do something like that” Parthiban said.

Further, Parthiban said that he sent a long voice note asking apology to Rahman the next morning. Parthiban also said that he also asked apology to Robo Shankar as it made a huge embarrassment for himself.
