Tamil people generally identify themselves as an indigenous community as they have different belief systems and religious views. They are indeed patriotic, but in their own way.
Now they have started to come down heavily on the recently announced film of NTR and Trivikram, which happens to be God Of War, which is based on the Hindu War of Karthikeya.
Immediately, after the makers communicated it would be a big action film based on the war god who was born in the North and worshipped in the South, Tamil madness unfolded.
There are quite literally thousands of posts from the Tamil folk on social media, where the question the statement that Karthikeya was from the north. They are strongly depicting their case that Karthikeya belongs to the Tamil land, and they would not accept it otherwise.
All this blabber and social media talk will only add to the fuel for this film, and both NTR and Trivikram must be happy about the same. The end of the day, these religious conflicts and regional claims are going to be there all along. So if they add to the visibility of the film, then it is a positive outcome either way.
The land of Tamil Nadu state itself was formed less than a century ago, but the audacity to claim the birth of a almighty war king who ruled in the bygone era is bound to turn into a laughing stock sooner or later.
The only thing that Trivikram must be focused on is making a solid film with an interluded religious angle. Everything else, including this ongoing blabber on social media will amount for nothing once this box is checked.
