Vetrimaaran is currently promoting the controversial film Bad Girl, produced by him and directed by Varsha Bharath. The film is set for a worldwide theatrical release on September 5. During an interview, he spoke about his filmmaking style, and the comments have gone viral.
He revealed that he does not provide scripts to actors, as he does not write them. This means that when actors arrive on set, they are unsure about what will be filmed that day.
Vetrimaaran also mentioned that those who have worked with him know not to trust his first draft. While some actors accept this, others get uncomfortable and decide not to work with him again.
His statement sparked mixed reactions online. Some netizens said that even bound scripts are failing these days, yet Vetrimaaran openly admits to not writing scripts. They argue that while his method may suit him, it could easily worry producers funding his projects.
Critics further argued that instead of instilling confidence in producers, Vetrimaaran appears to glorify his working style. They believe this approach has a low success ratio, and when followed by other directors, it has often failed.
They also recalled that his last release Viduthalai 2 fell short of expectations, turning out to be only an average venture. According to them, this was proof that his style can sometimes backfire.
Many suggested that Vetrimaaran should avoid making bold statements about his filmmaking approach. They feel such remarks might discourage producers and mislead aspiring directors.
Despite the criticism, his comments are now trending widely on social media, with people sharing their varied opinions on the subject.
