After a section of Tamil audience interpreted a joke in 'Varane Avashyamund' as an attack on slain LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran, Dulquer Salmaan has issued an apology. In the scene, actor Suresh Gopi's character sort of snaps at a dog and calls it 'Prabhakara'. "The joke is a reference to...older Malayalam film...and is a common meme in Kerala," Dulquer explained.
