Directors Pa Ranjith, Vetrimaaran support Udhayanidhi’s speech against Sanatan Dharma
"The malignant attitude of distorting the minister’s statement and misappropriating it as a call for genocide is unacceptable. The growing hate and hunt for the minister’s is very disturbing," read Pa Ranjith's post on X.

‘Viduthalai Part 1’ review: A blistering portrayal of power run amok
There are few better positions from which to observe the exercise of authority than the lowest rung. Tamil director Vetri Maraan’s terrific new film Vidhuthalai Part 1 (Liberation), set in 1987 but ricocheting through the present and even the future, provides a bottom-up view of power through the experiences of a low-ranking police driver.
