Recently, filmmaker Vetrimaaran questioned the depiction of Raja Raja Cholan in Ponniyin Selvan-1 as a "Hindu king." It soon lead to a controversy with some sections, especially politicians and public figures, close to the Bharatiya Janata Party, calling the emperor a Hindu. Others, including actor-politicians Kamal Haasan and Karunas, filmmaker-turned-politician, Seeman, and Congress MP, S Jothimani, called him a Shaivite Dravidian ruler.

In this episode of Do I Like It, I'll tell us what I think of the film ten days after its release. I also spoke to historians to set the record straight. Tune in!
