Controversy | Goundamani issued legal notice over infringement of rights In 2019, South Indian actor and comedian Goundamani issued a public notice, warning of legal action against the Tamil film Sixer (2019), which starred Vaibhav Reddy in the lead role. Reportedly, the film Sixer (2019) featured Goundamani's photograph in one of the scenes and dialogue from Goundamani's film Chinna Thambi (1991). In the notice, Goundamani's advocate stated to delete the scenes from the film to avoid defamation charges. The notice read, Using our client’s name, photograph and repeating his dialogue without his consent is nothing but an infringement of personal right and liberty in addition to copyright.

We’ve been childhood friends and working with him is like working with family. He gave me a big break with Saroja in Tamil, so I’d be glad to work with him again. However, I am also open to working with different directors and exciting scripts. But no action and fight sequences please.”

In an interview, he talked about the role he played and his shooting experience for the Tamil film Kappal (2015) and said,
I took at least 10-15 takes for many shots. If my performance is appreciated, all credit must go to director Karthik, as he ensured that I struck the right balance between overaction and subtlety. Even though we have Karunakaran and VTV Ganesh to provide some laughs, I have to carry this project, a situational comedy, almost single-handedly. I play a similarly effervescent character. In fact, one scene in which I pester the heroine to fall in love with me is pretty much along the lines of the famous Mr. Chandramouli scene in the film. “I call her ‘ chellakkutti ’ in that scene. It was another that took 10-15 takes.

It was quite hard to shoot a few sequences with my eyes closed. Many scenes had me wearing glasses but the director told me to close my eyes for the sake of authenticity. That’s when I realised how difficult it is for those who suffer from sight-related disorders. We were extra careful to make sure we didn’t hurt anyone and there is also justification in the climax in the form of an emotional sequence.”
