After the lip-lock controversy involving the schoolgirl female lead that preceded its release, the acclaimed film-maker's movie is facing trouble from a Christian group which has taken offence to the 'insulting' references to Jesus and the Bible.
A Christian outfit has demanded that six offending scenes from the film, which is running to packed houses, be removed forthwith.
A protestant pastor, Rev Christhudoss, founder president of Indian Christian Democratic Party, lodged a complaint with the City Police Commissioner to press for the demand.
Kadal, with which Mani returns after a long hiatus, features Gautham and Thulasi Nair and the story - good versus evil - is set in a Christian milieu in the backdrop of a coastal hamlet.
