Speaking to the media, Rajkamal said, "I joined Gopi Nainar as an assistant director in 2018. I worked on the film 'Karuppar Nagaram.' Even after three years, I and the other four people have not received their salaries. If I asked questions, he made false promises, saying that he would give me a chance to act and that he would pay for my wedding," he alleged. Furthermore, he stated that Gopi Nainar had no role in his caste-defying marriage.

He also alleged that even at a peace meeting, people with criminal backgrounds were brought in and attacked. Gopi Nainar dismisses the accusations Responding to such complaints, Gopi Nainar said to Nakkheeran, "I have also filed a defamation case against him. The things he says should be said in court, not in front of the media. I have directed two films, 'Manushi' and 'Kaalani,' and no assistant director has complained like this one. Even in the meeting chaired by the AC, he did not answer any questions. It is not true that I was threatened in the video. This is an attempt against me," he said, confirming his stance.
