Strong warning to the makers of God of War

While NTR fans got super excited when the makers of Trivikram-NTR project released the first poster of their spiritual entertainer God of War.

However, the film poster resulted in a huge controversy. The caption ' “Born in the North” triggered a huge controversy with Tamilians accusing the makers of twisting the facts.

They pointed out that ancient Sangam literature (like the Tholkaappiyam) hails Murugan as an indigenous deity of the southern Kurinji (mountainous) region. Scripturally, his birth is traced to the celestial Saravana Poigai lake rather than a northern geographic location.

However,the supporters of the project say the caption aligns with broader Puranic Hindu mythology. In pan-Indian traditions, the deity is worshipped as Kartikeya, Skanda, or Kumara Swamy, the son of Lord Shiva born in the Himalayas to defeat the demon Tarakasura.

In the midst of all this, Seeman, chief of Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) asked the makers to make changes else they would launch a massive protest across Tamil Nadu.
