Title change for Vikram film

After constant protests from a section of Thevar community urging Vikram and director A L vijay to change the name of Deiva Thirumagan, the cast and crew finally relented.

Thevar outfits say we call our leader Muthuramalinga Thevar as Deiva Thirumagan. Now if a movie is made with a youth shown as mentally-challenged and called as Deiva Thirumagan, is it not a disgrace.

We will not leave the issue until the title is changed, they said.

Now bowing down to the pressure, both Vikram and Vijay agreed to change the title. The movie would henceforth be called as Deiva Thiumagal.

Produced by Mogan Nadarajan, the movie stars Anushka, Amala Paul, Santhanam and M S Baskar in key roles. G V Prakash scores the music.
