A
case
on
Maan
Karate,
which
was
released
earlier
this
month,
has
been
filed
in
a
Chennai
city
court.
The
film
is
being
accused
of
showing
the
boxing
game
in
a
bad
taste.
A
boxer
has
filed
a
petition
against
the
makers
of
the
flick
and
demanded
for
a
ban
on
the
film.
Boxer
J
Krishnamurthy
has
alleged
that
Maan
Karate
shows
the
sports
in
the
bad
taste.
Instead
of
promoting
the
sports,
the
Tamil
flick
discourage
aspiring
boxers.
He
wants
the
Tamil
movie
to
be
banned.
"I
understand
the
film
is
not
based
on
boxing,
but
the
sport
has
been
extensively
used
in
the
film.
They
have
disrespected
the
sport
by
making
a
caricature
version
of
it
on
screen.
I
have
filed
a
complaint
with
the
city
police
commissioner
requesting
to
ban
the
film," Krishnamurthy
told
IANS.
"They
have
not
even
followed
the
rules
of
the
sport.
By
portraying
it
in
such
poor
light,
a
bad
impression
of
the
sport
is
left
on
aspiring
boxers.
I
wouldn't
mind
if
it
was
just
for
a
scene,
but
most
of
the
second
half
of
the
film
is
about
boxing," he
further
adds.
The
Maan
Karate
story
is
about
an
unemployed
character
called
Peter,
who
wins
a
boxing
championship
to
prove
his
love.
Thirukumaran
directorial
movie
has
AR
Murugadoss' story.
Sivakarthikeyan
and
Hansika
Motwani
play
the
lead
roles.
