Vijay TV's new promo from the upcoming serial 'Thendral Vanthu Ennai Thodum' has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons. The promo released on July 25, which has now gone viral, shows a woman being married forcibly by a man without her consent.
When the female lead interrupts the male protagonist who was trying to break the marriage of a newly-wed couple for inside the temple for not seeking their parents' permission, the female lead Abhinaya stops him from doing so. She slaps the man and points out how the couple got married in front of the temple deity and asks him as to how he is entitled to nullify the couple’s relationship.
The enraged protagonist, drags her and and forcibly ties the mangalsutra around her and asks whether he has become his wife just because he tied the 'thaali' in front of the temple diety. The promo ends with the teary-eyed lady following him.
With many pointing out the toxicity and glorification of harassment surrounding the serial's promo, Superintendent of Police, Tiruvallur, Dr Varun Kumar IPS replied to a journalist's tweet and pointed out a long list of laws which are against such acts and lead to harsh punishments. The tweet posted by him was retweeted by more than thousand people.
