Nadar Community protest in front of Karthis house

Nadar protest against Karthi

‘Rocket Raja’  Karthi seems to have got into trouble with the Nadar community objecting to the usage of the name ‘Rocket’ Raja in ‘Siruthai’. The actor has been blamed for using the name Rocket Raja which apparently happens to be the name of one of the leaders of the Nadar community.

‘Siruthai’  has Karthi playing dual roles amongst which one of the character is named as ‘Rocket Raja’, a petty thief. The film’s teaser showcases this character showered with cursing words for his misdeeds.

The fact that it has been assigned to a character that plays a pickpocket has gained members of Tamilnadu Nadars Association who staged their dissatisfaction in front of hero Karthi’s house on Wednesday(12th Jan 2011) and demanded taking down of the name.

Howsoever police have offered their protection while many protestors were also arrested on the spot. The Siruthai team are of the talk that even before knowing what role the character will portray it is not right to stage a protest unnecessarily.

A troublesome co-incidence, we reckon.
