After Vadivelu reportedly walked out of the sets of ‘Padikathavan’ following a tussle with director Suraj, Vivek has been roped in to replace the comedian.

According to sources, Vadivelu uttered some extra dialogues, which were not there in the script while shooting a comedy scene. Irked by this, director Suraj asked Vadivelu to go by the script.

Vadivelu, who took it as an insult, walked out of the sets after an argument with the director, it is said. To repair the damage, Vivek has been asked to do the role for which the actor too has expressed his consent.
