OpinionWhat we see in adult films like 'Irandam Kuthu' is only an extension of what's normalised in 'U' rated films that are marketed as 'family' films.Sowmya RajendranVeteran director Bharathiraja is upset with Santhosh P Jayakumar's upcoming adult horror comedy Irandam Kuthu. The teaser of the film has plenty of references to masturbation and explicit scenes, besides dialogues that are filled with innuendo. In a strongly worded letter, Bharathiraja termed the promo 'unbearable' and even asked for the government and the Cbfc to step in. Not to take the reprimand lying down, Santhosh shot back with a tweet that shows a still of Kamal Haasan with three women actors in swimsuits from the 1981 Bharathiraja film Tik Tik Tik. Santhosh asked if the director didn't find this unbearable in 1981. But even as social media users take sides on the issue, the debate is largely on whether Bharathiraja is a hypocrite or not.
