Caste problem erupted against the film 'Thalaivar 170'..!?
They have issued a statement that they are going to boycott this film as a protest against the defamatory portrayal of the Vanniyar community in the film Jaibeem, directed by T.S.Gnanvel and starring Suriya. In a statement published in this regard, it has been said that, "We have all registered our protest against the film director T.S. Gnanavel for belittling and disparaging the Vanniyar community and portraying our late Vanniyar Sangh leader Maveeran as a negative character." Even though the entire Vanniyar community and other fraternal communities protested, it was Dr. Gnanavel who did not even directly apologize for what he had done so far. State Vanniyar Sangh Secretary Vaithi said in his statement that the people of the Vanniyar community should not support any film made with the contribution of Gnanavel, which has such a tendency, and should boycott it in solidarity and register our protest.
