Recently, there were reports that Udhayanidhi Stalin's Oru Kal Oru Kannadi (OKOK), directed by Rajesh, was denied permission to shoot in Chennai.

Sources further stated that this was due to the change of power in the state. However, in an interview to a leading daily, director Rajesh denied such reports.

The director also revealed that he got permission from the rightful owners to shoot the scenes. Udhayanidhi's OKOK is almost ready, except for one song which will be canned in foreign locations.
