Many rumours and gossips have pooped out in the news when Anirudh was replaced by Thaman for Aravinda Sametha. Even during the opening ceremony of the project, Anirudh was seen everywhere but had finally disappeared out of the project.

A couple of media people have asked NTR about his involvement in pushing out Anirudh out of the project. The actor had got annoyed and said, “Oh yeah! It was I who wrote the script of the film, but had given his name. Even Jagapathi Babu’s role too, I did it and gave his face in CG.”

This was basically a satire on what has been asked and he said, “Who am I to suggest Trivikram what to do and what not? I am just nothing before his experience. He is the only person who has right to take decisions. He has the clarity about choosing the best people from the film,” said the actor.

Speculations were rife that the director was upset with the failure of Agnyaathavasi and that is why he changed the team this time.
