Director Samuthirakani's latest offering Nimirnthu Nil that had Jayam Ravi in the lead, failed to keep date with the theaters. The buzz in the industry was that the film didn't make it because of financial constraints.
In the meantime, grapevine did the rounds that the director of the film, Samuthirakani, had tried to commit suicide. The director reportedly came out and explained that he was just away from the city for a script discussion and guaranteed the film will release at the earliest.
