Dulquer Salmaan’s upcoming film “Kaantha” is facing a major setback just days before its release. The film, which is based on the life of legendary Tamil actor and singer M.K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar, has been slued into a legal controversy.
What has happened?
The trouble began when Thyagaraja Bhagavathar’s grandson, B Thiagarajan, approached a Chennai court seeking a ban on the film’s release. Thiagarajan claims that the film portrays his grandfather in a poor light, showing him as a man with loose morals, blind in later life, impoverished, and forced to beg. He argues that these depictions are entirely false and have been made without the family’s consent.
