Director Regrets Controversial 'Puthiya Geethai' Dialogue

Director KP Jagan, speaking recently, has expressed regret over a controversial dialogue in the 2003 Tamil film 'Puthiya Geethai.' He admitted that actor Vijay was hesitant to deliver the bold line during a fight scene, suggesting it was unnecessary and that they should avoid creating animosity.

Jagan confessed that his own fan-like enthusiasm for Vijay led him to insist on the dialogue. He repeatedly urged Vijay to perform it for the fans, eventually getting his way. The dialogue subsequently ignited significant discussion, with many interpreting it as an indirect reference to actor Ajith Kumar.

Reflecting on the incident, Jagan acknowledged that his insistence on the dialogue was a mistake. He conceded that he did not fully grasp the implications at the time and later realized it was an uncivilized way to handle things, admitting he should have heeded Vijay's initial advice. This resurfaced confession has reignited debate surrounding the film.
