Also they said that they will lodge an official complaint against the director for the same in the police. The transgender TV personality Rose Venkatesan has also said that the scene portrayed in the film has shown the community as some sex starved individuals. In protest a group of transgender staged in front of the director’s house. As we all know that the transgender community has always been laid back by the other communities in all fields. So which is also a reason why they may feel always left out from other persons? And so any issue regarding the community may hurt their feelings? In the same way the movie I which is currently running well in the box office has a scene of a transgender which in a way has hurt their emotions and so it didn’t go well down with the community and so turned out to be a protesting situation for the community peoples which has been a very difficult condition for the director Shankar.
