Everyone can see it and make up their mind. I don't want to put anyone down or add more fuel to the fire. With false bookings, I think it's a question of distribution.

Not only this, manipuri actor Bijou Thangjam also criticized the Jigra casting team and accused them of unprofessional behavior and discrimination towards actors from Northeast India. On this, Vasan said, 'I don't remember seeing his data-face or audition.He was never told that he was shortlisted. I think they checked his availability. Calling and asking for availability is the normal process. He probably assumed that he got the role, but I'm sure there's always a better way to deal with things. If he felt bad, I apologize, because such things keep happening.'
