We refer to the film 'Karthigai' that Malavika refused to act in and the director is Veera.
It is a known fact that Malavika protested about being given tough dance moves when she was 5 months pregnant, how the producer Anjaneylu spoke crudely and tried to touch her and so on, and she got out of the acting assignment in 'Karthigai.'
Despite Nadigar Sangam President Sarath Kumar mediating, Malavika refused to come off her high horse. She casually said that she would consider acting after her child was born. Even when director Veera and producer Anjaneyulu said they would sue her for losses, Malavika did not back down.
A few days back, director Veera announced that Malavika was removed from 'Karthigai' and Namitha would now do the role. Now Malavika now retorted that she would file a case if anyone else but her was cast in 'Karthigai.' So in a final move, Veera waved the peace flag yesterday.
That is, he will not press for losses against Malavika. And even if another actress did Malavika's role, her song/dance would still remain in the film.
The lion that roared was now squeaking like a mouse….Veera now says Malavika never said she would not act, she only said she would do it a bit late, that's all.
It's a case of even when falling flat on one's face, no sand sticks to the moustache!
