CASTING CONTROVERSY: Popular director lashes out at Meera Mitun

Model turned actress Meera Mitun has become a highly popular name across Tamil Nadu after participating in the recently-concluded third season of the hit Tamil reality TV show, Bigg Boss. One of the most controversial names to come out of the Bigg Boss house, Meera Mitun had a few days back announced on her Twitter page that she was ousted from the upcoming Tamil film, Agni Siragugal, and was replaced by Akshara Haasan. Being produced by T. Siva under the Amma Creations banner, Naveen has now responded to Meera Mitun’s allegations saying she was never committed to the project while adding that the actress had herself informed the press and media regarding her casting despite him choosing not make any big fuzz out of the situation.

When Meera then tried to confront Naveen and call him out, the acclaimed director tweeted out saying she should consult a doctor and concluded stating he will no longer respond to her accusations. Agni Siragugal stars Arun Vijay, Vijay Antony and Shalini Pandey in the lead roles and is progressing at a brisk pace with filming expected to wrap up soon with an announcement regarding its theatrical release expected to come out officially.
