Suriya and Jyotika are a power couple and deliver strong messages through their films. Ahead of the release of Jai Bhim starring Suriya in the lead and produced by the couple's 2D Entertainment, they donated Rs. 1 crore to the welfare of the Irula tribe. The couple handed over the cheque to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin. Retired Justice K Chandru and members of Pazhankudi Irular Trust received the cheque from Suriya, Jyotika, and MK Stalin on Monday.
Suriya's film Jai Bhim tells the real-life story about the custodial torture meted out to the members of the Irula tribe in the mid-1990s. Directed by Tha Se Gnananvel, Jai Bhim speaks about caste discrimination and injustice subjected to the Irula tribe.
