The PMK leader, Dr. Ramadoss is famous for his verbal spat with the film industry. Not many would have forgotten his vitriolic attack on Rajinikanth’s screen antics. He has also styled himself as the protector of Tamil culture and often decries the use of glamour in Tamil films. However, he has also proved that he is keen to help people in deserving cases.

Cheran had been facing problems in releasing his Thavamai thavamirundhu. Ramadoss intervened and sorted out the problems. The film was also released without any further glitches. Ramadoss is said to have been impressed with the film and asked Cheran to carry on with same vigour. Cheran was really moved. Was this the same Ramdoss who had created a fuss over the title, Autograph??
