Many people on social media have expressed their displeasure, arguing that Suriya, known for taking a stance on social issues and contributing to causes like free education and dialysis through his Foundation, should not endorse an online betting site.

FEFSI's general secretary clarified that the decision to exclusively cast Tamil actors in Tamil films was primarily aimed at supporting those working on daily wages, commonly referred to as junior artistes. He pointed out that the Tamil workforce, especially light men and junior artistes, has been severely impacted by this issue. The Mumbai-based company Lite and Lite, which is a major supplier of lights and shooting equipment, tends to bring their own staff and doesn't hire local workers, unlike in Andhra where 50% of Tamil workers are employed for action and song sequences. FEFSI requested a similar approach in Tamil films, but the production company did not agree, resulting in a no cooperation situation. As the trend of multilingual films starring Tamil heroes rises, it has been observed that local workers are often not utilized. However, FEFSI emphasizes that they do not intend to interfere with the director's artistic choices for their films. Their main concern is to ensure fair opportunities and support for Tamil workers in the industry.
