Young
director
Karthik
Subbaraj
had
a
dream
beginning
to
his
film-making
career.
After
dishing
out
back-to-back
hits,
the
33-year-old
director
came
up
with
Iraivi,
a
film
that
talks
about
the
insouciant
mindset
of
men.
While
watching
the
movie
you
might
realize
that
Iraivi
has
the
potential
to
make
you
think,
laugh
and
perhaps
reach
out
for
the
wiper
even,
but
never
will
you
feel
like
the
film
might
offend
someone.
Well,
not
just
someone,
but
Iraivi
has
made
a
handful
of
people
unhappy,
thanks
to
a
particular
character
portrayed
in
the
film.
Played
by
Vijai
Murugan,
the
character
in
question
is
a
ruthless
and
greedy
producer
who
troubles
SJ
Surya
(portrayed
as
a
struggling
director)
in
the
movie.
After
watching
the
film,
producer
Kathiresan,
who
had
bankrolled
Karthik's
Jigarthanda,
has
alleged
that
Vijai
Murugan's
character
has
been
written,
keeping
in
mind
his
feud
with
Karthik.
Kathiresan
and
Karthik
Subbaraj
were
not
in
good
terms
during
the
filming
and
release
of
Jigarthanda.
Now,
the
Producers
Council
(TFPC)
has
stated
that
cinema
should
not
be
used
to
unleash
one's
anger
or
vengeance.
Speaking
to
Times
of
India,
PL
Thenappan,
the
Vice
President
of
TFPC
has
said:
"What
he
(Karthik)
said
initially
with
respect
to
the
film's
story,
and
what
has
come
as
the
final
output,
are
two
different
things.
He
has
changed
a
lot,
and
he
even
hesitated
to
show
the
progress
of
the
post-production
work
to
the
film's
producer."
Adding
that
the
young
director
has
taken
success
to
his
head,
Thenappan
has
said,
"When
the
issue
with
Kathiresan
is
still
in
court,
how
can
Karthik
etch
out
such
a
character
for
his
personal
satisfaction?
A
director
who
has
successfully
directed
just
two
films
shouldn't
think
of
himself
as
Mani
Ratnam."
The
members
of
Producers
Council
may
unite
later
this
week
to
take
a
call
on
the
issue.
Iraivi
is
produced
by
CV
Kumar,
who
is
yet
to
comment
on
the
issue.
