Vijay Sethupathi backs out due to unofficial ban on Samantha and directors

At present Raj - DK ( directors of The Family Man 2) were to direct a webseries and Vijay Sethupathi was to play a pivotal role.  As he heard about the unofficial ban , he backed out. He was earlier slammed for accepting the role of Sri Lankan cricketeer Muralitharan and had to back out.

Tamil Nationalist groups in Tamil filmdom has spread the word around that no producer should sign Samantha and director  Raj- DK for being associated with The Family Man season 2. It is said to have potrayed LTTE in a bad light.

Currently  Samantha is acting in Nayanthara - Vignesh film 'Kaathu Vaakula Rendu Kadhal' ( KVRK) with Vijay Sethupathi. The film is produced by Vignesh and Lalith Kumar Seven Screen Studio. Lalith Kumar is one of the pillars of the new producer's body headed by Bharathiraaja.

Samantha had some time back decided to stay away from Tamil films and KVRK was an exception since the script was appealing.

Parvathy T is another actress who is in a similar situation, said a source. Her first Tamil release will be Manirathnam's Navarasa ( anthology). Her under production film is with Siddharth as hero and producer and directed by Rathindra ( he directed the anthology portion featuring her). She has a Malayalam film Puzhu with Mammooty ( for the first time).
