To throw more light on this lightman’s issue, we got in touch with our contact in Mani Ratnam’s Madras Talkies. This is what they had to say, “He is bothering us for a long time. How can a production company be responsible for this? We have over hundreds of workers working in a film and it is not possible for Mani Ratnam to keep track of each one’s health condition. We are very unhappy that someone is spoiling Mani sir's name.”
