As soon as he uploaded the tweet, several comments surfaced condemning Harris Jayaraj for collaborating with Yohani. “Son of Prabhakaran got killed at the age of 13 only because he was born to Prabhakaran. Now, daughter of the killer is becoming a singer in Tamil nadu. Thank you Tamil nadu” a user wrote in his comment whereas another one shared the video of Yohani singing about her father’s sacrifice.

End of war in 2009, those who surrendered preferred Sarvendra Silva(58 Div) over Prasanna De Silva(59Div). Because S. Silva was more "humane" then ur fav singer's @yohanimusic Dad, who was killing & torturing surrendering people. That's who she called her hero in her music. pic.twitter.com/AjXOwHeC6j

தேசிய தலைவர் மேதகு பிரபாகரனின் மகன் என்பதற்காக மட்டுமே 13 வயதில் கொல்லப்பட்டான் என் நண்பன். இன்று அவனை கொன்றவனின் மகள் தாய்தமிழகத்தில் பாடகன் ஆகிறாள்.@madhankarky

Yohani has sung songs praising Sri Lanka's Tamil Genocide. And now she is making her debut in Tamil Nadu.

Why should we accept this. Dear @Jharrisjayaraj & @madhankarky scrap the song. https://t.co/WuCQhArD3T
On seeing these kind of comments, Harris Jayaraj deleted his tweet. Earlier, Vijay Sethupathi backed himself from the project of himself acting as Sri lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan after seeing the online outrage and condemnations.
