Previously, Kamal Haasan had also extended support to the building’s construction by donating Rs 1 crore. Although the construction of the building commenced in 2017, it faced various obstacles along the way.
In 2010, plans were made to demolish the Nadigar Sangam building and erect a new one in its place. However, subsequent events resulted in a rift between Sarathkumar and his daughter Varalaxmi on one side, and Vishal and Kamal on the other.
Sarathkumar took over the lease of the land after the demolition, but this move was contested. Following a re-election, Vishal and Nassar assumed the roles of General Secretary and President of the association, respectively.
