Following the horrific incident in Tirunelveli where a family of four set themselves ablaze, unable to face the pressure of the debt they had borrowed for usury interest (kanthu vatti) from loan sharks, Director Suseenthiran has voiced out his feelings through a poem, on Twitter.

The poem, roughly translated, reads as follows:

"Usury Interest is a sin
Usury Interest is a crime
Usury Interest is inhuman
Usury Interest is akin to murder

A loan shark
is a leech which feeds on
human feelings
and human lives

If there is someone worse,
a bigger rogue,
it is the politicians and people of status
who protect loan sharks."
