Following a complaint filed by producer Oscar Ravichandran with the Tamil Film Producers Association that Surya is not co-operating with his multi-crore project Vaaranam Aayiram, the council will assemble under the leadership of its President Rama Narayanan today to settle the issue. The issue looks ugly from the outset but actor Surya has the will to do both Vel and Vaaranam Aayiram.

The actor has spelled out his version of the latest development and his stand on the issue. “Vaaranam Aayiram is one of my dream projects. I never tried to sideline it. I went on to do Hari's Vel only after discussing with the director of Vaaranam Aayiram. He accepted completing Vel first. To me Vaaranam Aayiram is an important project. The director of the film wanted lots of time while Hari promised to complete his film within 75 days. After Vel, I will take up Vaaranam Aayiram and give all my call sheets to it. At any cost, I will do the project and keep my word,” said Surya

The actor has also decided to explain his position and place a letter to the producers at the negotiation meet to be held today at the Film Chamber.
