Bharathiraja is directing a film titled Annakodiyum Kodiveeranum. This film has director Amir and Iniya in the lead roles.
This film has also Radha’s daughter Karthika in the cast. When asked Bharathiraja why he has not joined hands with music composer Ilayaraja in this film, he said, "I don’t know how many times, I have to answer this question.

Have I ever mentioned that I will join hands with him in this film? At one point of time we worked together. After this, other experiences were required. So I changed to Rahman, Deva and G V Prakash. Each time I got a new experience. Another thing is that only Ilayaraja and I only should speak about this. Why should media speak about it? As far as the audience is concerned, they are expecting that they will get good songs if we both join hands.

Only because of this, this question is being raised now and then. The reason for this is the songs of those films which they saw in their young age have been registered in their minds. The songs composed by A R Rahman for my films were of good quality. We cannot say that we will be successful now like in the earlier days. In the younger days, we will be close with our mother. As we grow older we will be in search of new relations. This is also like that."
