In the scene, Santhanam advises the heroine, saying that living life as per our likings isn’t freedom. Others should like the way we live and that is only freedom. He also comments on the heroine’s dress. “Your dress will get completely removed if someone pulls it a bit. Is this what you call as “freedom” ??” Santhanam could be seen uttering the dialogue to the heroine who was wearing a sleeveless top.

Now, singer Chinmayi, came up with a series of stories condemning the scene. “One small pull and the Veshti will fall down. You call that . . ?? What now” she asked through her story. Here’s the screen shot of it :

“Freedom- Define that for yourself. And this definition changes as we grow. By the way- Living the way “others accept you” is sure way to failure. For that matter even the lead actor in the film didn’t get a 9-5 job and live in the way “Others expect a man to”. I am sure he doesn’t believe the lines he is spouting in the film. Hope the audience doesn’t too” she said in her next story.
