Seeman said that the show wrongfully portrayed the Sri Lankan Tamils as an “ excessively violent bunch“.
“If they refuse to ban the show (and) release it country-wide and try to create a false impression about Tamil people, I warn that they will have to face dire consequences,” he said. Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) founder Seeman Friday had warned of “dire consequences” if the show was aired. He also said the “sacrifices made by Tamil Eelam Warriors were wrongly shown as a terrorist act”. He said “Tamil-speaking Samantha” was being depicted as a “terrorist” and the visuals had “hurt the sentiments” of Tamil people and Tamil culture, and in all, was offensive against the community.
In his letter Sunday, Vaiko called the series an “objectionable show that depicted Tamilians as terrorists and ISI agents and having links with Pakistan”. Joining the cast this season is Samantha Akkineni, who, in the trailer, appears to play a LTTE member with links to Pakistan and other terrorist outfits.ĮXCUSE US FOR WRITING THIS IN CAPS BUT THIS TRAILER HAS ??
