What will happen to the movie? One has to wait and see.
#Dileepan tamil eelam movie
Such being the story so far, director Suseenthiran is now working on a movie titled Maaveeran Kittu, which is seemingly based on Kittu's life, even though the director has said that it has nothing to do with the slain leader or LTTE, but is based on a "true story". Very recently Ravana Desam, with the ethnic strife as backdrop, managed to get past censors, but it didn’t seek to make any strong political statement. Maniratnam’s Kannathil Muthamittal does touch upon the conflict, but doesn’t take sides, and so it passed muster.
Its director Pugazhendi Thangaraj’s subsequent attempts to strike variations never went beyond the floors. Katrukkenna Veli (Who can prevent the wind from blowing), a relatively decent film portraying the Tigers in a positive light, got mired in censorship issues for long before it hit the screens. Noted director Selvamani’s film Kutra Pathirikai (Chargesheet) on the Sriperumubur tragedy still remains canned, even though it was not pro-LTTE. And Tamil cinema has been an effective tool.Īfter 1992, following the death of former Indian PM Rajiv Gandhi, any film which sang hosannas to the Tigers was stalled by the Indian government. LTTE might be dead and gone, and while even mentioning its name could get you into trouble in Sri Lanka, the Lankan Tamil diaspora and people of Tamil Nadu keep its memories alive. His loyalty to the cause was fierce, but anyone who crossed his path was dealt a swift, fatal blow. In many ways, Kittu embodied the LTTE itself. Two years later, that defiant student was also killed. But one student rose in defiance, and protested loudly.
Kittu assured students that they would trace the boy, and elders prevailed upon the students to get back to classes. A huge protest erupted at the University. Vijithran was abducted from Batticaloa by Kittu’s men. That month, a student at Jaffna University, Arungirinathan Vijithran, dared tease Kittu’s girlfriend who was a medical student at the varsity. He ruled by fear, and was ruthless in punishment – not just for the Sinhalas and the Tamils who disagreed with the LTTE, but also those who chose to rub him the wrong way in his personal life. By November 1989, Sathasivam Krishnakumar aka Kittu, was among the top-rung leaders in the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
