A section of media in Chennai went gaga over an alleged spat between Silambarasan and Reema Sen on the sets of Vallavan being enacted and directed by Silambarasan. They reported that the two had developed arguments over a costume to be worn by Reema Sen for a particular song. Silambarasan has reportedly decided to replace Reema Sen. Producer P L Thenappan was unavailable for comments. Reema Sen, who is currently in Kolkata was contacted over the phone, she chose to remain quiet over the issue. Blaming the media for blowing the issue out of proportion, Reema Sen said, "I would be in Chennai on May 30 and would talk about the spat then." Till then, it is silence.
