Prem is jealous of Yash: Chandra director Roopa Iyer
News
oi-Prakash
By Prakash Upadhyaya
Roopa
Iyer,
the
director
of
forthcoming
colourful
film
Chandra,
is
not
happy
with
the
recent
developments.
She
is
fuming
over
the
lead
actor
Prem
for
resorting
into
cheap
publicity
and
for
giving
a
miss
to
promotional
activities
of
the
movie.
Prem
Kumar
went
out
to
the
town
accusing
Roopa
Iyer
of
disrespecting
him
recently.
His
main
issue
was
promoting
Yash
like
the
lead
star
of
the
movie
and
giving
more
importance
to
the
man
who
has
just
done
a
cameo
in
Chandra.
Well,
the
director
has
now
spoken
to
Oneindia
about
the
ongoing
controversy
and
explained
her
side
of
the
story.
Here
are
the
excerpts
from
the
interview:
Your
reaction
on
Prem's
claims.
Prem
is
doing
all
these
things
to
get
free
publicity.
I'm
not
a
person,
who
believes
in
negative
publicity.
There
is
no
truth
in
his
claims
as
I
had
invited
him
to
the
press
meet.
His
manager
was
present
at
the
conference.
And
he
says
that
I
did
not
invite
him
personally.
But
who
on
earth
will
call
him
and
invite
when
he
has
insulted
me
and
my
father
in
public.
He
is
just
jealous
of
Yash.
For
me,
Yash
is
a
big
star
and
promoting
him
in
posters
will
give
a
good
publicity.
But
Prem
does
not
understand
it.
All
he
thinks
is
that
we
are
not
giving
importance
to
him.
Come
on,
I
stood
by
him
when
some
actresses
were
not
happy
to
work
alongside
him.
In
fact,
Shriya
Saran
too
asked
why
Prem
and
why
not
Upendra
or
Darshan.
But
I
believed
in
him
and
decided
to
cast
him.
He
should
be
grateful
because
I
am
introducing
him
to
Tamil
films.

Yash
Trying
To
Be
Good
Prem
says
that
Yash
is
a
good
friend
of
him
and
the
latter
informed
him
that
he
was
getting
more
importance
than
the
lead
star.
I
don't
think
so.
Maybe
Yash
is
trying
to
be
good
with
both
of
us
as
he
doesn't
want
a
silly
issue
affect
a
mega-budget
film.
Ambi-Ravi
Urge
Prem
To...
Is
there
anyone
mediating
between
you
two
to
sort
out
the
differences?
Ambareesh
and
Ravichandran
have
already
urged
him
not
to
create
unnecessary
controversy.
They
have
asked
him
to
sort
out
the
issues
for
the
good
of
both
the
parties.
The
whole
industry
is
standing
beside
me
because
I
have
done
no
crime.
I
have
invited
him
to
the
press
meet
through
my
manager
and
if
he
doesn't
come,
it
is
his
problem.
I
have
not
created
the
controversy
and
it
is
he
who
is
trying
to
be
in
the
news
for
all
wrong
reasons.
Will
Prem's
absence
prove
costly?
Do
you
think
his
absence
will
affect
Chandra?
I
don't
think
it
will
affect
because
people
are
aware
of
all
the
developments.
We
are
promoting
the
film
to
the
maximum
extent
and
we
are
confident
of
our
product.
Preperations
In
Full
Swing
How
are
the
preparations
for
the
release
going
on?
Preparations
are
in
full
swing.
We
are
leaving
no
stone
unturned
to
publicise
the
movie.
We
want
to
release
it
in
maximum
number
of
screens.
