Responding to the recent protest by the Nadar community members, Siruthai producer Gnanavelraja said that the team have not intended to defame any person through the flick. He added that their only objective is to entertain the audience. “All that we wanted is to make a quality entertainer which would be enjoyed by everyone this Pongal season. And director Siva has lived up to our expectations by making the movie a full-length entertainer.The film is an adopted version of movies which are already huge hits in Telugu and Kannada. All the characters in it are purely fictional. At this juncture, we came to know that members owing allegiance to a caste group attempted to stage a protest in front of Karthi’s house. We would wish to clarify that our film was not made to hurt the sentiments of anyone.", the producer was quoted as saying.
