MUMBAI: These days every other film lands in one or the other controversary. The latest to join the bandwagon is director AMR Ramesh’s film Vana Yudham based on the life and times of Sandalwood smuggler late Veerappan.

The sandalwood smuggler‘s wife Muthulakshmi has sought a ban on the film alleging that it portrays her and Veerappan in bad light.

She is of the contention that neither the director nor the producer of the film ever discussed the story with her. She has registered a case in a Chennai Court.

Muthulakshmi observed that the film would influence the pending case against her.

While Kishore plays the role of Veerappan, Vijayalakshmi will essay the role of Muthulakshmi. Jeyabalan plays a military officer who played an important role in Veerappan‘s death. Suresh Oberoi plays Dr Rajkumar in the film.

The film will be released in Kannada as Attakaasam.
