Suriya's 'Jai Bhim' landed in controversy after the film had a few scenes bothering a certain community. A few politicians criticized
Suriya and the team for such a display and asked the actor to apologize. Amidst the 'Jai Bhim' controversy, an unfamous video about casteism from 'Uppu Karuvaadu' has gone viral.
In the viral video,
Chandran (Karunakaran) slams a politician for protesting against his film before the release by claiming the film is against their caste.
Karunakaran played the role of a filmmaker Chandran in 'Uppu Karuvaadu', which was directed by
Radha Mohan.
Chandran has clearly explained the reality of cinema and other big problems in society. He also mocks the politician saying that his protest is to gain popularity by fighting against a cinema instead of fighting against a social cause. This clipping from the film has grabbed the attention of the masses. Uppu Karuvadu', which is directed by Radha Mohan, is about the struggle of a filmmaker and the film features Karunakaran and
Nandita Swetha in lead roles.
Meanwhile, Suriya has been receiving continuous support from cinema stars and fans over the 'Jai Bhim' controversy, and the hashtag #WeStandwithSuriya can be spotted regularly on Twitter.
