==Production==
During a stage of production, [[Prabhudeva]], [[Maheshwari (actress)|Maheshwari]] and the entire crew including [[Sundar C]] had landed in [[South Africa]]. [[Rambha (actress)|Rambha]] had not boarded the plane with them as planned. The unit became nervous, not knowing what to do, as the shooting time and spot that they had reserved in Sun City was getting wasted. After waiting for a long time, they went ahead and had Maheshwari put on Rambha's costumes and picturized the song with her and Prabhudeva. Rambha, who arrived two days later, got wild and furious that Sundar and company would picture the song without her. She went back to Chennai almost three days before the ''Naam Iruvar Namakku Iruvar'' unit and got ready to shoot for ''[[Kaathala Kaathala]]'' instead.

Sundar and others who were angry and disappointed with Rambha's behaviour filed complaints with film organizations. Meanwhile, more developments came about once Rambha left the film. It appeared that the director's wife, [[Khushbu]] had strongly thrown in a recommendation for [[Simran (actress)|Simran]] to grab the role that Rambha had trashed, but [[Meena (actress)|Meena]] entered the picture from somewhere, all of a sudden.<ref>{{cite web|last=Sandya|date=March 1998|title=Tamil Movie News|url=http://www.indolink.com/tamil/cinema/News/98/Mar/news3.htm|work=indolink.com|accessdate=11 September 2016|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160430054302/http://www.indolink.com/tamil/cinema/News/98/Mar/news3.htm|archivedate=30 April 2016}}</ref> The fact was that Meena gave up her ''Kaathala Kaathala'' role for Rambha and [[Soundarya]], while Rambha gave up her ''Na. Ir. Na. Ir'' role for Meena. On a side note to the entire matter, Simran announced that she gave up her chances to star in both ''Kaathala Kaathala'' and ''Naam Iruvar Namakku Iruvar'', because she did not want to pack herself with call sheet troubles and not be able to act in that she had already committed to.<ref>{{cite web|last=Sandya|date=December 1998|title=December Vambugall|url=http://www.indolink.com/tamil/cinema/News/97/Dec/vambhu.htm|work=indolink.com|accessdate=11 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303234146/http://www.indolink.com/tamil/cinema/News/97/Dec/vambhu.htm|archive-date=3 March 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>
