While a slurry of directors, producers and actors from Kollywood industry have been demanding stringent action on Madurai based financier Anbu Chezhiyan who allegedly abetted the suicide of film producer Ashok Kumar, Seenu Ramasamy the director of National award winning Tamil films has said that Anbu is a great man.

In his Tweet in Tamil, the director of 'Dharmadurai' said "Today's actors are not like MGR and Sivaji. It is painful to see great men like Anbu Chezhiyan  being wrongly projected for some reason. I will always stand by the side of justice."

Many commoners are expressing their shock and disappointment over the director's tweet supporting a man charged of usury. 

எம்.ஜீ.ஆர், சிவாஜீ, போல் இல்லை இன்றைய நடிகர்கள்.அன்பு செழியன் போன்ற உத்தமர்கள் ஏனோ தவறாக சித்தரிக்கப்பவது வேதனை.நான் நியாயத்தின் பக்கமே...
