The other Tamil movie is PS Vinoth Raj's directorial 'Koozhangal' and these two movies have been submitted under the category of Best Non-English Language Film.

Arulmozhi has sought action against Suriya, the movie team, and Amazon under various sections including defamation, intent to cause a riot and intent to breach the peace.

Jai Bhim had also caught up with controversy with the allegation of showing the Vanniyar community in a bad light. 

What Suriya has faced was faced earlier by Vijay Sethupathi and the police have now filed a case against both the leaders who announced rewards for attacking the actors. 

Suriya's response, which has no mention of the legal notice from the Vanniyar Sangam, has come two days after the notice was issued to him.

The comedian has been under scrutiny over the roles that he played in recent times that had elements of body shaming and prejudice under the guise of making comedy. 

Earlier, the Vanniyar Sangam had issued a legal notice to Suriya and the Jai Bhim team, demanding an apology from them for hurting the sentiments of the Vanniyar community.

Vetri Maaran wrote, "No one can be made to feel lesser for doing the right thing Jai bheem. Suriya is one star who is redefining stardom."

Popular director Pa Ranjith took to Twitter and shared a portrait of Suriya with writing "We Stand with Suriya", as he joined the wave of expressing solidarity to the actor. 

The president of the Vanniyar Sangam has demanded the Jai Bhim team tender an unconditional apology for damaging the reputation of the Vanniyar community.
