'Pulipaarvai will Glorify Cause of LTTE' -The New Indian Express
Pulipaarvai, a film that is based on the last days of the LTTE’s struggle against the Sri Lankan army and is based on Channel 4’s footage of Prabhakaran’s son being killed, has been at the receiving end of pro-Eelam groups. Just like Santosh Sivan’s Inam, groups have accused Pulipaarvai of essaying the Tigers and Eelam Tamils in a poor light. The producer, director and the actor essaying the role of Balakumaran Prabhakaran spoke to the press in the wake of a massive protest when the film’s audio was launched last Saturday.
A lot of the outrage has been over the depiction of the LTTE supremo’s son as a child soldier. Gandhi said that the scenes had been removed. “As per Seeman’s suggestion, we have removed those scenes. It was only supposed to be imagined by one of the characters, but we have done away with it now.” Seeman and Pazha Nedumaran were shown the film in a special screening recently.
In an attempt to pacify the protestors, producer S Madhan said that he would not release the film until every protestor had withdrawn objection. “Both Seeman and Nedumaran have suggested some cuts and we are making the changes. I invite every person from these groups to watch the film and unless they are all right with it, I will not release it,” he said.
He let on to Express that at least three scenes had to be reshot, while at least 50 changes needed to be effected - between scene cuts and edits.
