Thuppakki Anti Muslim Fight
The Chennai High Court has served a notice on the Govt. of Tamil Nadu to explain to it in detail as to which sequences are‘deleted’ from the final version of the film Thuppakki, released last month. Many Muslim organizations had protested to the presence of ‘certain sequences’ in the film and staged demonstrations outside actors Vijay’s residence when the film released.
They were demanding deletion of the sequences which, in their opinion, had depicted Muslim youths as ‘terrorists’. A case was filed with the Court seeking ban on release of the film. The producer and the director along with SA Chandrasekar had pleed for pardon and promised all of the controversial sequences would be deleted from the film immediately.
Now the film has done very decent run at the box-office, but the problems for the producer does not seem to end.
Ibrahim of Indian Muslim League has filed another petition with the Court saying that “The controversial sequences in the film hadn’t been deleted and the film is running in theatres with all these sequences objected to by us. The film is hurting the sentiments of Muslim youths and we seek suspension of the ‘U’ certificate awarded to the film by the Government.”
When the case came for hearing before the bench consisting of Justice Banumathy and Justice Sasidharan took up. The Govt. Counsel informed the Court that the Government permitted screening of the film only after the deletion of some sequences. The Court then directed the Government to file a detailed reply by 3rd January citing the sequences deleted in the film’s final version.
