Mohan G of “Draupathy” fame thanked the producer of “Jai bhim” for making a change in the scene to change the identity of the corrupt police officer. Earlier, through a calendar that was hanged in his home, the villain character was shown as an individual who belongs to “Vanniyar” caste. An online outrage took place in social media, claiming that the film targeted a particular caste.

“Jai Bhim” released on Amazon Prime on 1st of November with much expectations among fans. The film is getting humongous amount of positive response from fans and is being widely watched due to the word of mouth. Based on a true event that happened in the year 1995, the film concentrates on showing light to the hardship people of tribal community went through at that time. Exposing the police brutality, the film shows how lawyer Chandru won the case without receiving a penny from his client who is a wife of the victim. Though the incident took place 25 years ago, it looks still relevant due to the police atrocities that are still taking place in the state.

In the film, director Tamil acted as Inspector Gurumoorthy who leads the lock up harassment. In a scene where he attends a phone call from his house, a calendar that contains the symbol of “Vanniyar” caste could be seen hanging. On seeing it, many users of Internet condemned “Jai bhim” makers accusing them of defaming a particular caste.

Watched #JaiBhim, since the story is based on a real incident, the director and actor @Suriya_offl must portrait the real criminal name SI #Antonysamy in the movie, instead they have shown the SI as #Gurumoorthi, and his caste signal as #Vanniyar. This show their malice.

Its brutal tht #Jaibhim portraits fake info & ill image about particular working class caste vanniyars on @PrimeVideoIN. Intentionally showing Veerappan snap also in vengence on Vanniyar community. Mr @tjgnan and @2D_ENTPVTLTD you can eat the poop rather earning money like this.

வன்னியர் சமூகத்தினர் #ஜெய்பீம் படத்தைப் புறக்கணிக்க வேண்டும்.

The Vanniyar community should ignore and boycott the #JaiBhim movie.

This is becoming fashion to provoke and incite insensitivity on Vanniyar community.@DrSenthil_MDRD do you belong to #Vanniyar community.#Shame

Sad and pathetic to know that #JaiBhim shows Vanniyar Community in bad light by portraying them in Bad light . The real life Jai Bhim incident has nothing to do with caste it's only Police oppressing Innocent that's all.. Mr Suriya Stooping too low @RootsOfVarmas

முதலில் வன்னியரை தாக்கின, இப்போ இந்துவை தாக்குகின்றன அண்ணே,

இதுவும் அவர்களின் சூழ்ச்சி திட்டம் தான்,
அவர்கள் நினைத்திருந்தால் அந்த இடத்தில் எதாவது object image வைத்திருக்கலாம்……

சகோதரரே அவனுக்கு ஏன் நன்றி சொல்கிறீர்கள் உங்கள் படைப்புகளில் பதில் சொல்லுங்கள் விதைத்துவிட்டான் அது மாறாது எதிர்வினை காட்டுங்கள் @mohandreamer https://t.co/Qj5OJDLQRc

வன்னியர்களின் எதிர்ப்பை தொடர்ந்து அக்னி குண்ட கேலண்டர் அகற்றப்பட்டது.

மாறாக லட்சுமி படம் பொருந்திய கேலண்டர் இடம்பெற்றுள்ளது.#Vanniyar #JaiBhim https://t.co/PJEsIaWm2h
