Indiralogathil Shriya: how it happened? - Vadivelu, who is donning three different roles in 'Indiralogathil Na Azhagappan', had explained the press about how they got the hot girl Shriya dancing for a single song in the movie.

According to him, the producer Manikkam Narrayanan approached Shriya to appear in the song and the heroine obliged. It was purely a professional decision by the actress, Vadivelu added.

Vadivelu told this to the Internet and TV channels whom the team of Indiralogathil Na Azhagappan met following the audio launch function. The meet took place in the producer’s (Seventh Channel) office.

He also reflected upon the hue and cry raised by a section of the industry over the news. “I heard that hundreds of phone calls were exchanged between various circles after the news came out. Most of them could not believe the news. I also heard that some had lost their sleep. They could not digest a girl like Shriya dancing with me”, said the comedian with his typical modulations.

“Mind you, she has not acted as my pair. It was just a single song”, added Vadivelu. He recalled that K.R. Vijaya, who had acted with the likes of MGR and Sivaji Ganesan, also acted with Nagesh as his pair. “This is a profession and we are here to work. Why so much of fuss is being made over this is something I could not understand”.

He also informed the media persons that he had asked Shriya about her decision to dance with him. The most sought after girl replied that she was his ardent fan and hence took it as an opportunity to act with him.

Vadivelu appreciated Shriya for her guts to defy the so called rules of Kollywood, which discourage the leading heroines to do an item number with a comedian.
