The government in the letter on Monday said that the trailer of the series which was released recently depicts the "Eelam Tamils in a highly objectionable manner". In the letter, the state minister said that the Manoj Bajpayee-Samantha Akkineni starrer not only hurts the sentiments of the Eelam Tamils but also the feelings of the people of Tamil Nadu. MDMK leader Vaiko had on Sunday made a similar plea to both Javedkar and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin. Naam Tamilar Katchi leader and actor-director Seeman had also called for a ban on the series. He also said that the series has already evoked widespread opposition from the people of Tamil Nadu as well as from the political parties in the state.
