I did not force: Bala

Bala says that it is absolutely false that he has strongly instructed Atharva not to participate in film-related functions. He also denied reports that Atharva is not able to complete the dubbing for Muppozhudhum un Karpanaigal because Bala refused to allow him to leave the Eriyum Thanal sets.

The director said that these are just rumors and Atharva is free to do as he pleases. There is no question of forcing anyone, said Bala.

It may be recalled that Atharva’s MUK is scheduled to release soon but the post production work is moving at a slow pace.
