Biopic on LTTE Prabhakaran to release on November 26

 

After Muralitharan biopic, a hashtag on Medhagu, a biopic on slain leader of LTTE V Prabhakarn, is now trending. The biopic teaser released is supported heavily online by supporters of LTTE. The film is being released on Nov 26th to mark the 66th birth anniversary of Prabhakaran. Recently the British Court ruled that the ban of LTTE was not warranted. The film is directed by T Kittu and produced by Tamil Eelazha Thiraikalam. Medhagu means His Excellency in Tamil.

The film has a Chennai connect. Journalist Anita Pratap was able to interview Prabhakaran in his hideout in Chennai. It was the first ever time that Prabhakaran had spoken to a press reporter. Later she as part of the Indian Press team that landed in Colombo to cover the ethnic war was available to get rare photos and insights into the war torn Jaffna. Her speech on Prabhakaran is shown in the teaser.

Except for Babu Jayakumar of Deccan Chronicle, other newspapers have ignored this trending tweet and teaser.
