K. Santhosh of Rudra Vanniyar Sena the complainant alleged that the movie 'Jai Bhim' directed by Gnanavel and starring Suriya hurt the sentiments of the Vanniyar community. It was further alleged that naming the villain as Guru was an attack on one of their leaders as well.

'Jai Bhim' (2021) which was released directly on Amazon Prime Video OTT platform was inspired by the real case of a tribal man's custodial death handled by the then advocate Chandru who later became a famous judge. Suriya played the role of Chandru while Manikandan and Lijomol Jose played the lead roles.
