Recently, National award winning directors Bharathiraja and Bala were at loggerheads over the filming of Kuttra Parambarai, a story set in the pre-independence era that narrates about the lives of a fading tribal community who are professional thieves. Ace writer and Bharathiraja's close associate Rathnakumar and writer-turned-actor Vela Ramamoorthy claim that Kuttra Parambarai is their story. In an interview to a leadin daily, Rathnakumar revealed that they have already approached Sivaji and Sarathkumar to play the lead role, however, due to Sivaji's ill health the shooting was stalled.
The latest buzz is that director Bharathiraja has kickstarted the project officially in Usilampatti today. A grand launch event was held and details about the cast will be revealed soon.
