The most controversial talk in the Kollywood is the reshoot of Varma. Director Bala gave a huge breakthrough to Vikram by his film Sethu. It is the dream for every actor to experiment a film with Bala. Vikram was too cautious about his son Dhuruv Vikram's entry into the film industry. He wished to make his son's debut with director Bala to give him a kick start in career. They planned to remake the Telugu film Arjun Reddy which gathered a massive recognition to Vijay Devarakonda.
The remake rights were purchased and Bala began to work on its Tamil version by naming it as Varma. The film was to be produced by Mukesh Mehta under the banner of E4 Entertainment. The crew had fruitfully concluded the shooting and the film was awaited to release around February. At this stage, the film was screened for Vikram and team before release. It is said that there were creative differences between Bala and Vikram while reviewing the film.
Vikram suggested that the film could have been even better and the cast performance should be improved only then it will meet up the success similar to the original. It is found that Bala didn't want to compromise his creativity and refused to make changes.
