Podaa Podi in passport trouble

The debut film of Sarath Kumar’s daughter Vara Lakshmi, Podaa Podi, seems to be in trouble. Silambarasan was signed up to play her onscreen pair in the film. This venture failed to hit the floors due to a rift between the Chennai-based production house and Sanaya Telefilms.

The problem, according to the technicians signed up to work in Podaa Podi, is that their passports were impounded by the Mumbai-based production house

Sanaya Telefilms. The technicians, assistant directors, and camera assistants say that they were to travel to Canada to participate in the 70-day shooting schedule and for this purpose they were asked to submit their passports to procure the Visas.

Though the shooting did not commence as planned, the production house refuses to hand over the passports, they aver. The issue has been taken up to the Thayarippu Nirvagial Sangam.
