Controversy
Soon after the release of the teaser on 26 January 2025, director Mohan G. Kshatriyan on his X (formerly Twitter) handle claimed that the film is portraying Brahmins in a bad light,[14] following which several criticisms broke out in social media for promoting underage drinking and misrepresenting a specific community.[2] Criticisms were more directed towards the film's producers, Vetrimaaran and Anurag Kashyap, and the criticisms further escalated into personal attacks and trolls on Pa. Ranjith, and the families of Vijay Sethupathi and Vetrimaaran.[15] In reply to the backlash surfacing over the media, Varsha stated that her film isn't targeting any specific community and added that she can only make films that are relatable, familiar and personal to her.[16] Despite the film being certified 'U/A' by the Central Board of Film Certification, the Madurai bench of the Madras High Court directed the Central government to remove the teaser from the social media,[17] after an argument that the film's teaser is depicting children in an offensive way.[18]
