A group against the use of English subtitles in Tamil movies on Tuesday protested at a film shooting in Chennai.
Officials said that volunteers of the Tamil Protection Movement were demanding that director SJ Surya's film "BF" (Boy Friend) should not have English titles.
Witnesses said Surya met the volunteers at the studio gate and agreed to consider the demand. The group had recently also threatened to disrupt the shooting of actor Kamal Hassan's new venture "Bombay Express".
Political parties such as the PMK and DPI have backed the protests and demanded legislation against English subtitles in Tamil movies.
