Awkward situation faced by MGR

The late Puthaneri Subramaniam was a bakthan of MGR. MGR wanted to use his song in his home production "Nadodi Mannan". The song was "Veesu thendraley Veesu Vetkai Neengave Veesu". When MGR went outstation, the song was rejected by the cine politics. When MGR came back he found that the song was not accepted by his story unit. Out of deep sadness he called up Puthaneri Subramaniam and explained his awkward situation and paid him off Rs 500. The song was later used in Ponni Thirunaal-sung by PB Sreenivos and P Suseela.
