Pichaikkaran
Connects
With
Demonetization:
Around
6.30
PM
on
May
19,
the
news
that
Rs.
2000
notes
will
be
invalid
was
widely
spread.
Later
it
has
been
revealed
that
the
RBI
has
announced
that
they
will
withdraw
the
2000
rupee
notes.
However,
it
said
it
will
be
valid
till
September
30,
2023.
It
sounds
like
'I
heard
it
somewhere'.

On
closer
inspection,
there
seems
to
be
an
unexpectedly
interesting
connection
between
this
announcement
and
actor
Vijay
Antony.
Directed
by
Sasi,
starring
Vijay
Antony,
Pichaikkaran
released
on
March
4,
2016
and
was
well
received.
A
beggar
speaking
on
a
radio
program
will
say
that
500
and
1000
rupee
notes
should
be
abolished.
Because
he
says
that
the
cause
of
poverty
and
lack
of
development
in
India
is
bribery
and
corruption,
and
if
it
is
abolished,
he
will
say
that
there
will
be
no
beggars
in
the
country.
At
about
the
time
he
said,
exactly
8
months
after
the
release
of
the
film,
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi
declared
the
cancellation
of
500
and
1000
rupee
notes
from
today.
Modi
also
said
that
a
new
India
was
born
from
that
day.
This
caused
great
shock
and
agitation
among
the
public.
In
those
days
when
UPI
facilities
like
Google
Pay
and
Paytm
were
not
available,
people
lined
up
in
long
queues
at
the
door
of
the
ATM
center.
Despite
running
out
of
currency
notes,
ATM
machines
were
not
working
at
some
places,
causing
some
push
and
shove
for
people
and
bank
management.
The
central
government
said
that
the
reason
for
this
was
to
eliminate
corruption
and
black
money
in
the
country.
It
has
also
come
under
severe
criticism
from
the
opposition
parties.
Many
netizens
connected
this
issue
with
the
first
part
of
Pichaikkara.

With
2000
Rupees
Withdrawal
All
this
aside,
it
must
be
said
that
the
RBI's
announcement
of
withdrawal
of
Rs.
2000
notes
has
not
created
much
of
a
stir
among
the
public.
Because
there
are
no
2000
rupee
notes
in
people's
hands
and
they
are
not
visible
to
the
eyes.
What
is
more
talked
about
than
this
is
the
second
part
of
PichaikKaran
released
yesterday.
Because
the
Prime
Minister
announced
that
the
500
and
1000
rupee
notes
will
be
invalidated
in
the
next
8
months
after
the
release
of
Pichaikkaran
part
1,
but
now,
on
the
same
day
of
the
release
of
Pichaikkaran
part
2,
2000
rupee
notes
have
been
withdrawn
by
the
Reserve
Bank.
Netizens
have
been
posting
funny
comments
on
the
internet
asking
what
announcement
will
come
from
the
government
if
Pichaikkaran
part
3
is
released.
When
#Pichaikkaran
was
released
in
2016,
500
&
1000
Rs.
notes
are
banned.
