Director Venkat Prabhu has responded to the controversy surrounding his shelved project with Sivakarthikeyan after Gangai Amaran criticised the actor for allegedly wasting the filmmaker’s time and moving ahead with another person’s script. The comments triggered speculation about the equation between Venkat Prabhu and Sivakarthikeyan, prompting the director to clarify the matter on X.
Venkat Prabhu stated that Sivakarthikeyan remains a dear friend and brother to him and said the frustration was understandable from a father’s perspective, as a film involving Gangai Amaran’s son had been delayed. “He probably doesn’t know the complete picture, and I can’t blame him for that,” Venkat Prabhu said. He further explained that he is a quiet person when it comes to his work and does not discuss his professional matters in detail with anyone, including Gangai Amaran.
Addressing the shelved project, Venkat Prabhu said, “The project couldn’t take off due to various reasons. That’s it. No hard feelings.” He also made it clear that he has no issues working with Sivakarthikeyan again, adding, “If the time comes and a good script comes my way, I would love to work with SK again.” He concluded by asking everyone to put a full stop to the controversy and said he is currently busy with his next project.
Sivakarthikeyan responded to Venkat Prabhu’s post with a light-hearted message, making it clear that there is no animosity between them. He wrote, “Sir, we are family. Idhuku poi neenga serious-ah reply pannitu irukeenga!” Thanking Venkat Prabhu for his wishes, he added, “Sir, I’ve told you this before, and I’m saying it again - I’ll always be a VP fan. Waiting to collaborate with you soon, sir.”
The exchange between the two has effectively put the speculation surrounding their relationship to rest, with both Venkat Prabhu and Sivakarthikeyan making it clear that they continue to share a strong bond and remain open to collaborating in the future.
