Few ‘No No’ to OK OK. But all’s well

Udhayanidhi Stalin’s debut film as the hero ‘Oru Kal Oru Kannadi’ (OKOK) is expected to start shooting from the last week of March. But there are some things which are still being worked out to set the ball rolling on the announced date.

The cameraman for the film is still not finalized as two ace cameramen had to opt out of the film due to date clashes. The M. Rajesh directed ‘OK OK ‘ was supposed to start shooting in the first week of March and Nirav Shah was booked to be the cameraman.

But the start of ‘OK OK’ shooting was delayed and now it is scheduled in the final week of March. This postponement put Nirav Shah in a quandary as he had the already committed Lingsamy’s ‘Vettai’ also starting around that time.

Nirav Sha had to pull out and the ‘OK OK’ director then zeroed on his accepted Shakthi Saravanan. But Shakthi too was attached to Ajith’s ‘Mankatha’ and had to say no reluctantly. Now Balasubramaniam who shot Pithamagan, Jayam Kondaan, Ninaithale Inikkum ‘Uthamaputhiran’ etc. has been approached.
