Later Vadivelu had agreed to resume shooting of the film as the producer's council had decided that failure to do so would result in him paying upto Rs. 9 crore. However the shooting didn't take off as expected with Vadivelu refusing to act in the film. He sent out a letter to Nadigar Sangam in which he accused the makers for wasting his dates and clarified that he did not want to act in the film anymore.

After another intervention from the Producer Council, asking Vadivelu to compensate the losses or join the shoot again, finally Vadivelu has agreed to shoot his portions for Imsai Arasan 24 am Pulikecei. With the issues having been resolved between Vadivelu and the filmmakers, the shooting of Imsai Arasan 24 am Pulikecei is expected to begin soon. However an official confirmation is awaited from the makers.
