In
what
can
be
termed
as
a
shocking
revelation,
filmmaker-actor
Cheran
has
accused
Sri
Lankan
Tamilians
for
leaking
Tamil
films
online
and
indulging
in
piracy.
Speaking
at
the
audio
launch
event
of
Kanna
Pinna,
an
upcoming
film,
being
directed
by
debutant
Thiya,
who
had
participated
in
the
famous
TV
show
'Naalaya
Iyakkunar',
Cheran
has
said
he
now
feels
ashamed
of
being
a
support
to
Sri
Lankan
Tamilians
on
many
occasions.
"I
came
to
know
that
it
was
Sri
Lankan
Tamilians
who
indulge
in
online
leaks
by
releasing
new
films
in
an
illegal
manner.
The
film
fraternity
as
such
has
raised
its
voice
in
favour
of
Sri
Lankan
Tamils
on
several
occasions.
Coming
to
think
of
it,
I
feel
ashamed
to
have
supported
those
who
eat
away
our
money
and
push
us
to
penury," the
Autograph
director
has
said,
according
to
a
report
from
Deccan
Chronicle.
Cheran
is
currently
working
on
three
films,
and
is
directing
one
among
the
three,
which
is
yet
to
be
titled.
The
other
two
films
are
Appavin
Meesai,
which
is
being
helmed
by
Rohini
and
an
untitled
Agathiyan
project.
