Young Kollywood actor Nakul's heroine in a yet to be titled flick has been dropped from the project.Close sources reported that the director John Mahendra was unhappy with the performance of Aindrita Ray, the Kannada actress who was roped in for the role. Aindrita has 10 films to her credit in sandalwood, but she could hardly please the director. “My Kannada films were hits and people there have appreciated my performance. John, who has just one movie to his credit, has no right to talk bad about my work. It’s purely unprofessional of him.", the actress said.

Nakul has opted to be silent over the issue. When asked about the same he said,  “He believes an actor should not interfere in a director’s work and it’s the director’s prerogative to decide on the cast and crew,” .
