Jai Beam is a film directed by TC Gnanavell and starring Surya. The film, which was released live on ODT last month, has been critically acclaimed but has been the subject of much controversy. The BJP has strongly objected to the film, saying it features scenes that denigrate the Vanni.
Bamaga Youth Secretary Anbumani Ramadoss not only expressed her dissatisfaction with the Jay Beam film crew but also demanded that actor Surya apologize. Similarly, the Vanniyar Sangam also sent a court notice demanding that the Jai Beam film crew pay Rs 5 crore in damages.
Thus, despite the fact that Bamaka-Vinar has made the issue a hoax, on the other hand, scenes including Vizika and the Communists are extending their support to Surya. Similarly, fans are trending the hashtag #Istandwithsuriya on social media in support of Surya.
Meanwhile, popular actor Arunkumar Raja, who has acted in iconic serials, has released a video in support of Surya. This video is going viral on social media. While the Vanni have been protesting against Surya, the video has garnered attention on the website as actor Arunkumar Raja from the same community has commented in support of Surya.
