Posters, banners of movie ‘Sarkar’ removed amid protests by AIADMK

Vijay-starrer 'Sarkar' has irked All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) leaders in Tamil Nadu. Banners and posters of the movie have been removed in Coimbatore. Several protests have erupted demanding cuts in the movie. The movie is in the eye of the storm for scenes criticizing the government's schemes. The AIADMK has been protesting since the Diwali release of the movie with senior ministers demanding deletion of the objectionable scenes, besides threatening to initiate legal action if the film crew failed to comply. In the film, Vijay plays an NRI who returns to India to vote, only to realise his vote has been cast illegally. He then digs deep into the matter, stirring up a political turmoil.
