He was appointed President of Tamil Nadu Producers Council in 2004, and controversially threatened to sue television network Sun TV for showing clips of films.[1] Azhagappan's work was halted in June 2006. when he was arrested in a cheating case for failing to return money to a financier Vishal Jain regarding a film that never began production. The arrest was considered highly political as a result of Azhagappan's declining relationship with the then political supremo Karunanidhi.[2]
Since 2010, Azhagappan has also worked in film as a supporting actor, notably winning award nominations for his negative role in M. Sasikumar's Easan (2010)
