IRANDAM KUTHU TEASER TO BE REMOVED FROM SOCIAL MEDIA?

Earlier, the film ran afoul of veteran director Bharathirajaa who condemned its contents. Its director Santhosh P Jayakumar came back with a strongly worded comment against the veteran director but soon enough backtracked and apologised.

Earlier, in a plea that was filed to stop the screening of the film Irandam Kuthu and to remove its promotional material from social media, the Bench had ruled for a notice to be sent to the team.

When the plea came before Justices Kirubakaran and Pugazendhi, the duo said that while earlier movies like Pasamalar that extolled relationships were the call of the day, nowadays, films with double entendres seem to rule the roost and the same is being used for publicity for the film.

They also raised questions about the content on television that predominantly seemed to talk about illicit relationships and asked if there are no censors for them.

The petitioner’s grouse was that when the term “Irandu” was searched on the internet, the movie’s promotional material comes up and the same is detrimental for children and teens. Taking this into account, the justices said that notices have to be despatched to the movie’s crew, YouTube, Facebook and Google.

Irandam Kuthu is slated for a Deepavali release in theatres and has been censored ‘A’. Irandam Kuthu features the director himself, Santosh P Jayakumar as the main lead and the leading ladies of the movies are Mumbai-based actresses Karishma, Aakruthi and Meenal.
