This controversy comes amidst a broader debate on representation and portrayal of different communities in Indian cinema. While some argue that filmmakers have the creative freedom to explore diverse narratives, others contend that responsible representation is crucial to avoid perpetuating stereotypes and prejudices. The filmmakers, Vetrimaaran and Anurag Kashyap, have not yet responded to the allegations. The film's release is eagerly anticipated, and it remains to be seen how the controversy will impact its reception.
