Uthama Puthiran has been in the news
for good and bad reasons. If the movie
has got good reviews, controversy does
not seem to be too far as well. With a
certain section of people not happy with
a dialogue in the movie, shows in movie
halls for UTP were totally stopped today
in Salem, Karur and Coimbatore. The agitation
was held by Kongu Velalar Munnetra Sangam
in the mentioned cities.
A press meet was conducted today in Chennai
to sort out the issue. This was attended
by Dhanush and UTP director Mithran Jawahar
and producer Mohan Appa Rao. Expressing
grief over the controversy, Dhanush clarified
that the dialogue was not intentional
and it was not meant to hurt the sentiments
of people. Informing that the objectionable
scenes will be deleted, they pleaded that
the shows be resumed as there are lakhs
of investment involved in it.
