During the release time of “Comali” trailer, a huge controversy erupted alleging that the makers mocked Superstar Rajinikanth.

Towards the end of the trailer, Pradeep took a sly dig at the political entry of Superstar Rajinikanth. To prove that they are living in 2016, Yogi Babu switches on the TV in which we can see Rajinikanth announcing his political arrival. Jayam Ravi who denies to believe it, says that it is 1996, in a way of saying that the actor has been announcing his political entry ever since 1996.

This irked many Rajinikanth fans who started trending hashtags such as #BoycottComali, #நாளைய_தமிழகம்_ரஜினி etc. Few stated the fact that the day Rajinikanth announced his political entry is December 31, 2017 not 2016. Fans also said that Rajinikanth has never officially announced his political entry before 2017.

here’s the trailer of “comali” :

On seeing the outrage, Pradeep and producer Ishari Ganesh appeared in a video and said that it wasn’t done intentionally. In his twitter post the director wrote “The response for #ComaliTrailer has been more than what v expected.Very happy that people liked it.But at the same time v came to know few Thalaivar fans were hurt.We don’t want anyone to be sad as it’s totally a happy film and we want everyone to be happy.Hence Im changing it 😊”

Now, after the success of “Love Today”, Superstar who met Pradeep, mentioned about it, according to the filmmaker. Pradeep said that he received a call from Superstar Rajinikanth initially. After knowing that Pradeep is in Chennai, Rajinikanth invited him to meet him.

After talking about the film so much, Rajinikanth said to Pradeep “Pona padathula Nammla kalaichinga la” ( you made fun of me in your last film, right??) and added “Fun, Fun, I know” in a way of easing the atmosphere.
