Sivakasi
came, produced a few fireworks for
the fans, and went unnoticed but the
din generated by the lawyers - offended
with a few scenes in the movie that
allegedly show them in poor light
- refuses to die away. First a case
was filed in Neyveli against the actors
Vijay and Asin, the producer A M Rathnam
and the comedian Bhaskar for denigrating
the profession of lawyers in the movie.
There was another case against the
same team in Madurai and they are
finding it difficult, due to their
traveling schedules, to appear in
the courts in response to summons
issued against them. |

When
the case came up for hearing on Friday,
the actors and others, this time too, could
not make it to the Madurai court and the
petitioner promptly requested the court
to issue arrest warrants against them. Much
to the relief of Vijay and Co, the Magistrate
has refused to take the arrest route and
has adjourned the case for hearing on July
7th . ‘On that day, defendants have
to be present, or else..’ has been
the warning from the Magistrate.
Meanwhile, the appeal filed by the actors
in Madras High Court seeking transfer of
cases to Chennai is yet to be disposed off
by them. So, at present, Vijay and Asin
may go to any part of the globe, singing
duet songs, but on a particular day in July,
they will have to mark their attendance
in the courts of the temple town! |
