Bhagavathar. The movie which was expected to be Dulquer Salmaan\u2019s next big triumph has suddenly turned into a big controversy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>The Petition That Sparked The Controversy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On November 11, 2025, B. Thiagarajan, the grandson of legendary Tamil actor M.K. Thayagaraja Bhagavathar (MKT) filed a petition in the Chennai Civil Court asking for halting the release of Kaantha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the reports, Thaigarajan pleaded to the court that \u2018Kaantha\u2019 portrays his grandfather \u201cin a false, degrading and defamatory personality\u201d. This is violating his family\u2019s right and tarnishing MKT\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thaigarajan\u2019s petition also claims that even though the movie is being presented as a work of fiction, it highly resembles the actor as a man of \u2018loose morals\u2019 who died in poverty, blindness and disgrace. This has hurt the sentiments of the family members and are inaccurate and deeply disrespectful towards the late actor who is remembered for his devotion and religious faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kaantha - Official Trailer | Dulquer S, Samuthirakani, Bhagyashri B, Rana D | Selvamani S | Nov 14\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jC6M3-6rhM0?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Who was M.K.

He was famous for blending Carnatic music with his emotional depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His career took a dramatic turn in the late 1940s, after he was accused of a high-profile murder case but was later acquitted. Despite the case, MKT remains a respected figure in Tamil\u2019s cultural history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>The Maker\u2019s Response<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kaantha, according to the team, is a fictional story and not a biopic. The movie is directed by Selvamani Selvaraj, starring Dulquer Salmaan in the lead role. It is jointly produced by Wayfrarer Films and Circle of Life Studios, with a runtime of approximately 163 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team claims that the movie draws only \u2018creative inspiration\u2019 from historical figures and is not based on anyone\u2019s life. As of now, the production team has not released any official statement in defense of the lawsuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They continue to promote the fim for its release on November 14. The film has received a U\/A certificate and has cleared censorship and formalities. However, the ongoing legal proceedings have created an uncertainty over whether the release will go ahead as planned or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Also Read<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/tradebrains.in\/entertainment\/actor-govinda-rushed-to-hospital-after-sudden-collapse-at-home-latest-health-update\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Actor Govinda Rushed to Hospital After Sudden Collapse at Home: Latest Health Update<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Possible short-term outcomes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Under Section 499\/500 of the Indian Penal Code, the heirs or close relatives may take legal action against anyone who defames their ancestors or tries to portray a false image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;As defamation can be both civil and criminal offence, legal experts have suggested three possible outcomes of the case:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The court could grant a temporary stay halting the release until hearings conclude.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It may allow the release with conditions, such as disclaimers or edits clarifying the film\u2019s fictional nature.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The dispute could end in a settlement, with the makers offering a private apology or onscreen clarification.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>What\u2019s next?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The official team has not responded anything about the lawsuit yet but Salmaan in his interviews kept labelling the film as a \u2018Fictional story.\u2019 The court\u2019s decision will determine Kaantha\u2019s fate in the coming days.
