With actor Suriya receiving threats from PMK and Vanniyar outfits against his recent film ‘Jai Bhim’, police protection has been given to his residence.
Gun toting police personnel have been deputed to Suriya’s residence in T.Nagar.
It may be noted that PMK-backed Vanniyar Sangam’s state president Arul Mozhi issued a legal notice to Suriya, director T J Gnanavel and producers 2D Entertainment and Amazon Prime demanding them to tender unconditional apology.
The legal notice also demanded that the makers remove the scenes which were defaming the Vanniyar community and also asked for Rs 5 crore as damages.
It also alleged that the filmmakers had intentionally positioned a calendar with the Agni Kudam image related to Vanniyar Sangam in the scene, in order to depict the antagonist as Vanniyar.
