India`s highest grossing blockbuster Baahubali` has started facing a new controversy.

The ortrayal of the Kaalakeya` tribe who oppose the Mahizhmathi` kingdom and a particular dialogue referring to them as Pagadaikkup Pirandhavan` is being construed as causing insult to a particular community in Tamil Nadu. Yesterday an unidentified group has hurled petrol bomb at a theatre in Madurai screening the S.S.Rajamouli directed film.

Now Madhan Karky the lyricist and dialogue writer of this spectacular film has came up with a statement clarifying doubts I came to know through media sources that a word present in the dialogue of the movie Bahubali` hurt the sentiments of a few and that, this has led them to acts of violence. In the dialogue quoted to be the issue, "en thaayaiyum thaai naattaiyum endha pagadaikku pirandhavanum thoda mudiyaadhu", I had used the term 'pagadaikku piranthavan' to mean a person born out of loss in a gambling game of dice. I did not know that it was the name of a community. In other scenes, the hero, who delivers this dialogue, is depicted as someone against casteism and even as a child, stands up for equality of all castes, against the norm of his nation. Such a protagonist would never talk ill of any caste. Our intention is not to speak ill of anyone. Just so that the invaders should not be equated to any caste or group, a new language was created for them. We have taken all possible efforts to avoid hurting the feelings of any group. Now, I`m also taking efforts to remove the word that has hurt the sentiments of a community. I`m letting you know that the word will be removed from the movie soon. I`m sorry if anyone has been hurt."

Hope this detailed statement puts the controversies to rest and pacifies those who took offense.
