Karthi’s film is not based on Tipu Sultan, clarify producers

The protesters allegedly belonged to Hindu Munnani Katchi and they wanted to disrupt the shoot as they assumed that the film is based on the life of Tipu Sultan.

However, since the shoot was happening in a popular temple in Dindigul with all necessary permissions, the issue was resolved in a couple of hours.

SR Prabhu, the producer of the film, issued a statement saying that the film was not related to Tipu Sultan or his life. “Of late, people have begun to attack films for their own publicity. The Censor Board should decide what a film must show and not show. Apart from this, it is a filmmaker’s choice to choose what he wants to showcase in his film. This is a basic right that we have been given. We strongly condemn any organisation or individual attacking the freedom of creative artistes. It is not clear about what they were so agitated about. The film is a complete action-comedy entertainer and nothing more than that,” he said.
