In his statement, Pandiraj has said, “This is really disappointing to see someone degrading the art of cinema. It is true that I offer chance to newcomers, but I make it a point of meeting them directly in my office and never communicate through phone or ask for money. Therefore, I request everyone to be careful with such crooks and not to believe the such phone calls.”
The director has said that the unanimous caller has been specifically targetting child artistes since the filmmaker is known for introducing many kids in his movies.
