Bharathiraja has sacked Ameer from the much talked about Annakodiyum Kodiveeranum. While the ace director claims that the script underwent some changes and hence Ameer is no more part of the project, sources present a different version.

'Ameer is said to be the reason behind the problem between producers and workers. So the Producers Council is upset with him. Also, he recently had a difference of opinion with Bharathiraja. All these things have resulted in this bitter decision,' sources say.

However, Bharathiraja denies this and says, 'There is no problem between me and Ameer. The only reason behind sacking him was that some changes were made to the script. I will soon make a film with him.'

With Karthika of Ko fame and Iniya of Vaagai Sooda Vaa fame playing the female leads, Annakodiyum Kodiveeranum is the comeback venture of Bharathiraja, who is one of the ace filmmakers of Tamil cinema.
