Tamil
actor-director

of

fame,
broke
down
in

conference,
on

He
was
addressing

press,
on
the
issues
based

the
allegations
made
by

daughter

him.
Cheran's

had
been
threatened
by
the
men
hired
by
her
father.
Speaking
to
media
persons,
Cheran
said,
"I
have
always
stood
for
love,
beyond
caste
and
religion,
but
now
my
daughter
is
trapped
and
I
am
being
made
out
to
be
a
villain."
Cheran
said
that
Chandru
has
cheated
many
girls
earlier
and
police
had
registered
a
case
against
him.
He
said,
"How
can
I
send
my
daughter
with
a
person
who
doesn't
value
or
respect
women?"
"He
has
also
sent
messages
to
my
elder
daughter,
claiming
that
he
loved
her," Cheran
added.

Director
Cheran
Sources
alleged
that,
Cheran's
opposition
to
his
daughter's
relationship
is
purely
based
on
Chandru's
caste.
Cheran
Daughter
Damini
Rubbishing
the
allegations,
Cheran
cleared
that
he
has
brought
up
his
daughter
without
any
religious
or
caste
prejudices,
and
asks
how
can
he
send
his
daughter
with
a
person
who
is
a
cheat.
Damini
Boyfriend
Chandru
Talking
about
Chandru,
director
Cheran
said,
"Chandru
wanted
to
act
in
movies,
and
we
suspect
that
he
has
been
making
use
of
my
daughter
to
get
into
films.
He
wanted
to
become
a
hero
in
my
movie
and
wanted
me
to
recommend
him
to
others."
Press
Conference
Director
Cheran
was
accompanied
by
his
wife
Selvarani
and
director

Taking

Selvarani
said
they
would
not
change
their
stand
against
his
daughter's
relationship
with
Chandru.
Director
Ameer
Ameer
said,
"KK
Nagar
police
had
earlier
registered
a
case
of
cheating
against
Chandru.
The
case
was
later
settled.
We
have
gathered
information
about
many
such
cases.
There
is
enough
evidence
to
show
that
Chandru's
character
is
questionable."
