‘You Don't Need Caste Name While Joining School.’ - Netizens Troll Famous Director's Controversial Statement

"Why do you put caste in the application form when you go to school? If you finish there, no one will know what caste is. After a generation, caste will disappear." Director RV Udayakumar has been facing criticism for this controversial statement.

Caste certificates are issued by the government to provide reservation to the caste-oppressed on the basis of social justice.
With the misunderstanding that there is caste division because of caste certificates, celebrities who say that there should be no caste certificates are getting into controversy from time to time. In this case, the famous director RV Udayakumar has got into controversy by talking about this.

RV Udayakumar has directed several hit films including Rajinikanth starrer Ejaman, Vijayakanth starrer Chinna Gounder, Kamal Haasan starrer Singhara Velan. Having directed more than 15 films, RV Udayakumar last directed the 2005 film Karka Kasadara starring Vikrant. RV Udayakumar has also appeared as an actor in some films.

In this case, director RV Udayakumar's comment about caste is facing huge criticism on social media. A special show of the recently released film 'Bakasuran' directed by Mohan G was screened for the Tamil Film Directors Association. Director's Association President RK Selvamani, directors Perarasu, RV Udayakumar and others watched the film. Later talking about this film, RV Udayakumar's comment has caused controversy.

Praising Bakasuran director Mohan G, RV Udayakumar said, "This film is a film for fathers like us, a film for mothers. Many lives are being lost due to mobile applications and children's lives are deteriorating. There is a situation where cell phones can be used for evil purposes. We should prevent unnecessary applications from entering our country. We have to prevent violence and caste-based talk from some people." said.

Speaking further, RV Udayakumar said, "Is that caste, this caste, Hindus up and down? What is all this for? Indian-Hindu is all there is in the application form when you go to school. Why do you put caste in it? If you stop there, no one will know what caste is. After a generation, caste will disappear. We can bring our society to a standard if whoever talks about castes is automatically deleted." he said.

Then a journalist questioned why you made a film with the caste name as 'Chinna Counter', who says that there should be no caste name. RV Udayakumar said, "Brother, you are very late.. Many people have asked this.. Did you have any problem when I made the film as a small counter? I made the film only as a small counter. I did not make the film as bad people. The problem is when you say that others are bad. is coming. I didn't say in the film to become counters. I would have shown the laundress as superior in that film." He said.
