The function was organized on behalf of Tamil Studios on the occasion of the 60th birthday of Thirumavalavan, leader of the Việtịnh Siruthai Party. Director Vetrimaran, who participated in this, said, “They are constantly taking away our identities. Let it be giving saffron clothes to Valluru; Let Rajaraja Chola be a Hindu king. The identification is still going on. This happens in cinema too.
They steal a lot of identities in cinema too. We must preserve these symbols. “If we want to fight for freedom, we must be politically clear,” he said. His speech has sparked various debates.
BJP members including H. Raja, Vanathi Srinivasan objected to this. In this case, today actor Karunas had issued a statement in support of director Vetermaran.
In it, “Etu Hindu?Etu India?India was created by the British for business during Raja Raja Chola’s time; They also created Hinduism. India is not a nation. It is a union of many nations.
Also, “Director Vethimaran’s opinion that Rajaraja Chola is being made into a Hindu king and they are constantly taking away our identities is very true and correct; Calling him a Hindu king is against the virtues of Tamils,” he said.

In this case, Congress MP Jyotimani has also come forward in support of director Vetrimaran.
He posted about this on Twitter, “Rajaraja Cholan was a Tamil emperor. Cyber in trust. There are Sangha, Saiva and Vaishnava literatures in Tamil. There is no such thing as Hindu literature. BJP has no knowledge or concern about the history of Tamil Nadu. Bigotry is the only thing that matters.” Also
“No art form including cinema can be apart from politics. Director Mr. Vetrimaran’s point is correct.” He had also said.
