Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) leader Seeman criticised Jr NTR's upcoming film with director Trivikram Srinivas over allegations of portraying Lord Murugan as "born in the north". He also urged Tamil Nadu government to ban the film in the state. "If you distort our Tamil God Lord Murugan's history and demean Tamils, you will face severe consequences," Seeman wrote on X.
