The latest to join this agitation is the Shiva Sena. Shiva Sena leader Dhiraviya Pandian met the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi at his residence recently and requested that the CM should interfere in this issue and ban the film if the title is not changed.

Vikram’s Deiva Thirumagan is caught in the thick of controversy with the Thevar community demanding that the title of the film be changed as it derogates their late leader Pasumpon Muthuramalinga Thevar.
