Late forest brigand Veerappan's wife Muthu Lakshmi has said that Vana Yudham, directed by Ramesh should be banned.
Actress Vijayalakshmi, who plays Muthu Lakshmi's character in the film, is shown wearing glamorous outfits. Such scenes will certainly affect my reputation, said Muthu Lakshmi.

She also made it clear that Ramesh did not approach her before commencing the project to get details from her about Veerappan's life and all that is depicted in the film is his imagination. Muthu Lakshmi appealed to all those concerned, not to associate themselves with the film and waste their time and money.
