Film director Cheran villain to daughter?s love | Deccan Chronicle


Chennai: He may have celebrated romance in his movies, but on Friday national award winning film director, Cheran, found himself painted a villain by none other than his daughter, who accused him of threatening an assistant director in Kollywood she was in love with.

“My father may have taken romance to great heights in movies, but real and reel life are very different” Dhamini, 20, a college student, told reporters at the city police commissioner office where she had arrived, seeking protection from her father.

A third year student of electronic communications at a women’s college in Nungambakkam, Dhamini was accompanied by the family of the assistant director, Chandrashekar, 25, who claimed to have been threatened at least twice by the famed director.


“Chandrasekar was asked to come to Kodambakkam on the pretext of sorting out the matter, but he was instead threatened by the director and a group of 15 men. Although he got away on his bike, another group later came to our house looking for him,” alleged a family member.

When contacted Cheran, who has directed films like Autograph, Bharathi Kannama and Solla Maranda Kathai, said he was in the midst of a discussion to sort out the problem with his daughter. He was later summoned by the Thousand Lights police for questioning.

i was surprised by this. cheran portrays himself as progressive and his own movies have subtle IC/IR themes. i guess what is good for public is not good enough at home?

so far, i have not seen any replies from cheran. let us hear his excuses.

no matter what, i like his movies. autograph i still think, one of the best tamil movies i have ever seen. pokkisham was good too. his movies did not do well in the box office, and he stopped producing them. they are too slow moving for tamil fans.

gutsy girl ... that's all i can say.

this is the only response i can see from cheran, 'When contacted Cheran, who has directed films like Autograph, Bharathi Kannama and Solla Maranda Kathai, said he was in the midst of a discussion to sort out the problem with his daughter. He was later summoned by the Thousand Lights police for questioning.'

the episode is getting curioser and curioser....

here is two ditties from facebook courtesy of achimuthu shankar of savukku 'fame'..(go to facebook and search for Achimuthu Shankar)

Twist in the tale : Two girls file complaint against Cheran's daughter Thamini's boyfriend that he had cheated them.

Along with Directors Samuthirakani, Bala, Ameer and Karu Palaniappan, Seeman joins the cartel to break up Cheran's daughters love, Seeman arrives at Thousand Lights PS to convince the girl to give up her love

Cheran's daughter Thamini sent to government home. She was prevented from talking to media by police. Cheran says police conducting enquiry. Till then we have to be patient.

Gowri, Sister of Chandru, Cheran's daughter's boyfriend alleges all heavyweight directors of Tamil Cine field threaten their family of dire consequences

there was one comment that caught my attention. wonder how much of this is true...எல்லாம் இவர்கள் சினிமாவில் விதைத்த விதைகள்தான். அதில் ஒன்று இவர் வீட்டுத் தோட்டத்திலும் விழுந்து வளர்ந்து பூத்து குலுங்குகிறது. திருந்த வேண்டியது அந்தப் பெண் மட்டுமல்ல. பள்ளிக் காதல் சினிமா எடுக்கும் இந்த இயக்குனர்களும்தான்.

i have heard complaints here, not recently though, of tamil films corrupting the youth, with their focus on mating based on physical attraction, and starting from bharathi raja, deliberately causing brahmin girls to seek out other caste girls. i still remember my dad's anger on hearing about 'vedham pudhidhu' , which he and a bunch old men, discussing and considered it a blasphemy.

whatever it is, excitement never stops. in the facebook & blog world.

 

[kunjuppu]

.. and here is cheran's say..

[video]http://www.tubetamil.com/watch-cinema-videos/director-cheran-press-meet.html[/video]

what i have heard, is, that these girls run away based on whims..

and then, the guys or more particularly the guys' families tell the girl to go ask for money from her parents. if the girls fail, they are abused.

no matter what, the girls' parents appear to be victims. i think we need to teach our children to separate the wheat from the chaff, though there is no guarantee in this either. i am reading a lot of cases like this in the tamil blogs.

Fantastic, சரியான சவுக்கடி .....

i read this regularly, and wonder many a times how savukku shankar gets away with it. most of it is provocative enough to kill, and i mean it literally. some of the earliest ones go well beyond the limit re against the folks in power. he has been accused of pro JJ slant, but though he is not as strong against JJ as he is against MK and his gang, he comes out swinging just about everyone.

obviously he must have some strong support as otherwise he would not be in a position to write or even move about freely the way he does, without any apparent fear. everyone knows where he lives, works and what he does. his sources are amazing in their details of secrets. on the whole he is anti anti everything with a cause... and a certain level of honesty..

except, that when he has his monthlies, he too indulges in familar brahmin baiting ; but he does not censor many of those comments that critique him. to his credit.

in contrast, i wrote a note protesting udayakumar's article with blatant anti brahminism in keetru...which was not published. the truth of the matter, is that when it comes to the tambrams, all these guys gang up. so i think it is prudent, just to watch the happenings. though there are some brahmin bloggers who apparently wade into the mud, and appear to ignore the stains of the dirt thrown at them.

the tamil blog world is a free for all wild west in its coverage of current events. thanks to technology, events are recorded commented analyzed and judged as they happen. there are enough leaks on all spectrums of politics so that nothing is secret. and ofcourse nothing is a sacred cow. makes very interesting reading.

https://www.facebook.com/dhamini.chandru

on the other hand, here is a girl just madly in love or 'has lost it'. no amount of any suggestion advice or exposure to reality, that this guy might be a rogue, would enter her head. savukku is right in one way, these guys vote for love over reality, except when they have to meet reality in their own family...and unable to face the consequences.

the sad part of it, is it all appears to be 'one way'. no response of any kind.. from the guy. can happen to any girl i guess. including our own daughters.

sounds familiar to me, as some of the stories we hear in this forum. about 'uncontrollable' girls? not easy. for all sides. oh well!!

[h=1]Cheran takes a love story to cops[/h]
Cheran takes a love story to cops - The Times of India
CHENNAI: A college girl in love with a man; her father, fearing the man would harm her, tries to separate them; her hapless mother in hospital-it's a plot that director Cheran may like to try on celluloid, but real life doesn't allow him to choose a character.

So, here was the celebrated storyteller of nostalgia and romance, knocking on the doors of the city police commissioner to 'rescue' his daughter from a 'tormentor-lover.' And when his daughter rubbished his claims, police weren't sure who the villain was.

Cheran approached Chennai city police commissioner S George on Saturday seeking action against Chandru, who has allegedly been torturing his 20-year-old daughter Dhamini. She was recently hospitalised after suffering torture at the hands of Chandrasekhar alias Chandru, Cheran told police a day after Dhamini complained to police that her father was threatening her lover, a dancer at reality shows.

Cheran came with an entourage of Kollywood personalities - actors R Sarathkumar, Radha Ravi and directors Ameer, Ka Ru Palaniappan and S P Jananthan - to the commissioner's office at 1pm. "Chandru has forced my daughter to give a complaint against me," said a teary-eyed Cheran, his voice choking. "I am not against love, but I am against the person who she has chosen as her partner."

The director explained that his was a love marriage. "I have never portrayed violence against love in my films. As a father, I wish my daughter gets married to a genuine person. I initially promised to get them married after she completed her studies. But when I learned about the man's antecedents, I couldn't agree," he said.

Cheran said his daughter recently told him that she was trying to distance from Chandru as he behaved in a rude way and always suspected her. "He kept track of her Facebook account and emails and threatened to upload messages that would defame me," said Cheran. "She had earlier told me that Chandru had relationships with several other women."

He said Dhamini lodged a complaint with police on July 10 seeking action against Chandru. "And now he has forced her to file a complaint against me. I believe my daughter would soon come back to me," he said. He added that his wife (Dhamini's mother) Selvarani was admitted to a private hospital after being taken ill because of the developments.

Chandru, meanwhile, had a different tale to tell police. Police sources said Chandru told them that even as Cheran approached police, he was being threatened by a gang to part ways with the director's daughter. Police said all the three complaints - one by Dhamini against Chandru and later another against Cheran, and the director's complaint against Chandru- are being studied by additional deputy commissioner Shyamala.

Is "Cheran" a tabra or even a brahmanan? Or, is that daughter's lover a brahmanan? I think we are discussing this very unnecessarily. சேரன் பொண் ஆரெ எப்பிடி கலயாணம் பண்ணிண்டா நமக்கென்ன?

Dear Kunjuppu,

I have been reading the news papers, web, and the posts here about this subject.

தலை வலியும் திருகு வலியும் தனக்கு வந்தாத்தான் தெரியும்.

Every preacher is a hypocrite. You have to only wait until he is personally affected.

Shri Sangom,

You are questioning as if talking about a Brahmana by us members here from East-West-North-South gonna do a great service to Brahmana community and develop a mesmerizing aura here among all the members, holding verities of views about Brahmana !!!

I missed the memo that says we can only talk about Brahmins here. This op may be of general interest, and it is correctly in "General-interest" section.
I see nothing wrong with the post.

i can still access it. you should sign on to facebook and try. hmmm or maybe it was already in my cache?

i try copy paste here, but did not work. any other way to reproduce facebook, and i shall do it. overall, it is the ramblings of a love crazy girl chasing this guy and all sorts of endearments.

in contrast, his own facebook account, not one word of her. whereas she has already signed her name as dhamini chandru!!

we had a similar instance in our family with one of our nieces a few years ago. nothing would stop here. she got enamoured by this malayali guy and ran after him. stayed in their house for 3 months, came running back, as they were very poor, made her work hard, and abused her. the rich parents accepted her back, and now she is happily married to an iyer guy.

big wedding and all that, and only close relatives knew of this affair. dont know if the bridegroom or his family knew of these adventures. but still a sweet pretty girl, who went through a stir crazy period. what to do?

could not help laughing at this one, dear sangom

actually apart from being a headline topic today, it is a topic of universal interest for most of us. i am a cheran fan. in addition, by and large, i believe that a 20 year old madlyinlovecrazy girl, nothing can stop her running after the guy. (good topic for next cheran movie?).

if not anything else, pls read savukku article post #8 here 'மகளைப் பெற்ற அப்பாக்கள்…', which gives another view of the same.

come join the flow, and enjoy the ride

 

[kunjuppu]

to give full perspective here is the facebook page of chandru. not one word about dhamini. i guess when a girl falls for a guy, she really falls...

[video]...cheran interview with his wife present. so decent a guy...

K, Cheran sounds exactly like the sweet talking but villainous fathers of girls portrayed in Tamil movies. He seems to care more to justify and bolster his reformist credentials than protecting his own daughters reputation and welfare. I felt nauseated and stopped watching after a few minutes. With all this public airing of his self righteous and self serving angst he is only feeding the morbid curiosity of movie-crazed Tamil public. He needs to take this problem back behind the closed doors of his home where it belongs and do some soul searching.

nara, i tend to agree with you.

but what does a father do..when the guy, the girl is crazy about, is a sleazebag. he has openly used her to get a hero role in a movie, which cheran refused. also there are several indication that he is an abuser of the girl.

i have a gut feeling that she is either going to do something drastic, or be back crying at her parents in a few months, when this guy finds out that cheran wont be coming out with any dowry or give him movie roles.

i agree that cheran could have kept it under wraps, and left the girl to the guy, come what may. it is a one way street, in my opinion, as far as the girl goes...unrequited affection and 'love'.

He needs to take this problem back behind the closed doors of his home where it belongs and do some soul searching.

Now that this problem has come out in open and also involving the courts ,it is not easy to take it back behind close doors .In fact I feel Cheran's daughter's adamant and strong stand to be due to his smart behind the scene moves to drive away the boy through threat / coercion . Now that this issue is open , and also PMK has also taken an open stand in this and famous Lawyer Sankarsubbhu who is now fighting for getting the truth of Illavarasan's death is going to appear against Cheran , this issue is going to see lot of Drama involving caste Politics and love marriages Yesterday in Thanti TV PMK Advocate Balu strongly said that this issue should not be pushed under Carpet and needs to be discussed the same way Illavarasan - Divyya issue was being discussed .I feel now the issue has moved out of Cheran's hands and it is difficult to bring it back behind close doors . I do not know the caste of the Boy Chandru but if he happens to be a Dalit then another Dalit v/s Non Dalit war is on cards here . Already Chandru's sister is fearing for the life of her brother and their whole family and is requesting police protection for their family .

 

[Nara]

...., the girl is crazy about, is a sleazebag. he has openly used her to get a hero role in a movie, which cheran refused.

Dear K, you only have Cheran's word for all this. Even so, Cheran's prime duty as a father is to protect his daughter, not his own carefully constructed reputation of one who defends love at any cost. Anybody who throws his own daughter under the bus is a sleazeball in my books, sorry....
