Bala joins hands with Zee network

Zee Entertainment Network has decided to venture Southwards. Their first project is to be a Tamil film, and quite interestingly the production house has signed up Bala to don the director's cap. Bala, known for his offbeat films, has also lapped up the offer. If sources are to be believed, Zee Entertainment Network has already handed over Rs. 2 crores to Bala to produce the film on a first copy basis. The director is now deeply involved in the project. Meanwhile, the tussle between Bala and Pyramid Saimira over the budget of Naan Kadavul is sought to be resolved amicably between both the parties by their close friends in the industry. It may be recalled that Pyramid Saimira alleged that Bala refused to give the copy of Naan Kadavul, which he had produced on a first copy basis, as the film's budget exceeded beyond the agreed limits. Bala countered that he would hand over the copy only when his dues are settled. The issue is expected to be settled soon to facilitate the release of Naan Kadavul.
