Mari Selvaraj trolled for his comments against Kamal Haasan's 'Thevar Magan'

Mari Selvaraj is one of the most skilled directors in Tamil cinema, and the successful director is set to deliver his third directorial effort, "Maamannan." The film featuring Udhayanidhi Stalin in the lead role is slated to release on June 29, and the film's audio launch was aired on television last Sunday (June 18) to stir up buzz for the film. But Mari Selvaraj's speech at the event sparked controversy as the director shared his resistance against the subject of Kamal Haasan's cult classic hit 'Thevar Magan'.

Speaking at the 'Maamannan' audio launch, Mari Selvaraj praised Kamal Haasan's 'Thevar Magan' as one of the must-watch films, as he has also watched the film several times. But he also stated that the film has affected him personally, as he does not understand whether the story between two brothers in a community is right or wrong. So he wished to merge a character in 'Thevar Magan, and this is how 'Maamannan' has been created. It is worth mentioning that Mari Selvaraj made his comments in front of Kamal Haasan, who was the chief guest for the event.





But Mari Selvaraj faces trolls from netizens for criticizing Kamal Haasan starrer 'Thevar Magan', which is an inspiration for many. Fans also mock Mari Selvaraj for not telling a meaningful story like 'Thevar Magan' instead of lighting up a battle between two community members through his films. Mari Selvaraj's speech facing controversy has turned out to be trouble for the director and his film ahead of the release, and let's wait to see how the former reacts to trolls.
