Kamal Haasan's choice to title his upcoming film Sandiyar has led to a renewed political and caste controversy in Tamil Nadu. The Puthiya Tamilagam party, led by founder K. Krishnaswamy, has opposed the title strongly. This recalls a similar issue from 2003, when the film initially named Sandiyar was renamed Virumaandi due to political and caste concerns. Critics say the term Sandiyar is associated with certain southern Tamil Nadu communities and may increase tensions. The party urges dropping the title, considering Kamal Haasan's role as a political leader and MP.
