He took to the social media platform X aka Twitter to share his thoughts on the trailer of the film wherein he expressed her anger over the portrayal of a Brahmin girl who decides to rebel against every rule set by her parents. “Portraying a brahmin girl personal life is always a bold and refreshing film for this clan. What more can be expected from vetrimaran, Anurag kasyap & Co.. Bashing Brahmin father and mother is old and not trendy.. Try with your own caste girls and showcase it to your own family first,” he wrote in the tweet which was shared in response to an appreciative post from Pa. Ranjith.
