Veerappan’s wife demands ban on movie

CHENNAI: Slain forest brigand Veerappan’s wife Muthulakshmi on Wednesday sought a ban on a movie ‘Vanayudham’ saying it portrays her husband and the family in poor light.
Muthulakshmi told reporters that A M R Ramesh, the film’s director had never discussed the story with her. “The film portrays my husband and our family in bad light. I have serious objections to the film being released in Tamil Nadu.It must be banned,” she said.
Asked whether she will reconsider her stand if changes were made to the film, she said she will not allow film to be released unless the director consulted her about every scene “as there are a lot of factual errors”. Muthulakshmi, who spent six years in the custody of special task force and three years in a Karnataka jail in connection with various cases in which her husband was involved, said the portrayal of her as a cruel woman in the film would influence pending cases against her.
