'Karnan' is not about Kodiyankulam caste riots, the films director Mari Selvaraj has clarified, in a recent interview to a leading Tamil magazine. Controversy erupted since it was speculated that the film is about the 1995 Kodiyankulam Maniyachi communal clash. The crew of the film were even threatened to stop shooting in Tirunelveli and Thoothukudi or face concequences. Members of the political party Mukkulathor Pulipadai demanded that the permission for the shoot be cancelled.
