Comedian Telephone Raj Accuses Maamannan Director; Says 'Mari Selvaraj Is A Psycho'

Comedian Telephone Raj Accuses Director Mari Selvaraj: Famous comedian Telephone Raj said in an interview that Maamannan director Mari Selvaraj is hitting the actors on the set.

Controversial Filmmaker Mari Selvaraj

Mari Selvaraj's Maamannan released in theaters worldwide on June 2023. His speech at the film's audio launch caused a lot of trouble earlier. More than a month after the release of the film, it continues to stir up various controversies

In this case, popular comedian Telephone Raj has given an interview to a leading YouTube channel. "Making a film that incites caste hatred is a very despicable act. The youth of today do not know what caste is. After watching Maamannan movie, many youngsters ask what is caste. Why bring up something that everyone has forgotten?

People like Mari Selvaraj, Pa Ranjith are making films today to promote caste. They are inciting casteism among today's youth by telling that they are beating us and insulting us. If their film is released, many will watch it as caste fanatics and not as fans.

Do Not Beat Actors

Mari Selvaraj is a psycho, Udhayanidhi himself has said this in an interview, 'he is a psycho sir.. he will beat everyone..' He beats many actors on the set. Can you beat someone like this? In a scene where the police beat up people in the movie Karnan, an actress is actually beaten up like that. Only then it will look real, he says. I have the audio of that girl talking on my phone about this.

He will shoot in his own town. Actors will be casted just to get beaten up, and then how will it become fair to make only his caste people to speak dialogues? Have fun making pictures. Why do you hit someone like this?

A law should be made not to make films that incite caste hatred, the director's association should not allow such films to be made, if this is done, Tamil cinema will not develop" says Telephone Raj.
