Vijay's
latest
flick
Thalaivaa,
which
is
all
set
to
release
tomorrow
(August
9),
has
been
facing
many
hurdles
from
Wednesday
(August
8).
Many
theatres
in
Chennai
received
a
threat
from
the
political
activists.
On
Wednesday,
Chennai
City
Civil
Court
issued
a
notice
to
Thalaivaa
producer
Chandra
Prakash
Jain
and
director
AL
Vijay
seeking
their
reply
from
them
before
August
14.
Petitioner
SKR
Karnan,
from
Tirunelveli
district
filed
a
plea
against
the
movie
claiming
that
the
movie
has
depicted
the
Tamil
community
leaders
in
the
poor
light,
who
lived
in
Mumbai.
The
plea
states
that
Thalaivaa's
story
resembles
the
story
of
SS
Kandaswamy
and
his
son
SK
Ramaswamy,
who
were
the
social
workers
in
Mumbai
and
who
saved
the
Tamil
youths
becoming
anti-social
elements.
SKR
Karnan
is
the
grandson
of
SS
Kandaswamy
and
son
of
SK
Ramaswamy,
he
claimed
that
his
grandfather
and
his
father
were
not
involved
in
any
underworld
activities,
but
they
were
loved
by
people
for
their
service.
Thalaivaa
deals
with
the
story
of
Tamil
underworld
don
based
in
Dharavi,
Mumbai
who
will
be
the
rescuer
of
Tamil
speaking
people
in
that
region.
After
his
death
his
son
will
be
back
from
abroad
and
lead
life
in
his
father's
footsteps.
