எவ்வளவு விமர்சனங்கள் இருந்தாலும், அதையெல்லாம் தாண்டி ஏன் ரஞ்சித்துகளும் மாரி செல்வராஜ்களும் தேவைப்படுகிறார்கள் என்றால்.. https://t.co/bd1lpQC0iM

Now, clarifying to the controversy, in a new interview, came up with a statement saying that he only meant the attributes of the character and it doesn’t mean anything beyond.

“I didn’t mean he is perfect just because he belongs to Brahmin community” said Pradeep and went on to ask the host what would she think of a person if he buttons his shirt’s sleeves and what would she think if he rolls up his sleeves, in a way of denoting that he never kept the scene to cause discrimination among communities.
