Santosh
Sivan's
Inam,
which
has
opened
up
to
good
reviews
from
critics,
is
facing
the
brunt
of
fringe
groups.
The
film
was
released
last
Friday
(March
28)
and
the
screening
is
being
stalled
from
today
(April
1)
over
the
protests.
Hurt
by
the
protests,
director
N
Linguswamy,
who
is
distributing
the
film
in
Tamil
Nadu,
has
decided
to
pull
out
the
film
from
theatres.
The
director
has
said
that
his
love
for
Tamils
has
been
questioned
by
some
groups.
So,
he
has
decided
to
stop
the
screenings.
"My
love
for
Tamils
has
been
questioned
by
some
groups.
I
distributed
Inam
as
a
cinema
lover
and
not
to
hurt
the
sentiments
of
my
Tamil
brothers
and
make
profits.
To
avoid
confusion
during
election
time,
we
are
pulling
out
'Inam'
from
cinemas
tomorrow
(Monday)," N
Linguswamy,
who
distributed
Inam,
said
in
a
statement.
We
have
to
note
that
the
makers
of
the
film
had
removed
five
scenes
from
the
film
after
its
release
on
March
28.
In
spite
of
removing
those
sequences,
fringe
groups
have
raised
objection
over
the
film
citing
that
it
hurts
the
Tamils
sentiments.
"I'm
not
afraid
of
any
opposition
but
I'm
concerned
about
the
feelings
of
Tamils.
I'm
ready
to
bear
all
the
losses
incurred
by
the
film," he
added.
Inam
narrates
the
survival
story
of
a
refugee
during
the
Sri
Lankan
civil
war.
