The ‘Kavalan’ press meet yesterday was on render hooks till the end because of Asin who is still not taking any chances. Instructions were given to the media person not to ask controversial questions to Asin and particularly no questions on her Srilankan visit. Even Vijay evaded questions about the anti-Asin sentiments among many Tamil organizations.

Even the director was not interested to talk about Asin controversy. Siddique said his job is to complete the movie the right way and what happens at the time of release is a later problem.

People who had been at the meet said Asin was under police protection until she stepped into her car after the event. Many senior journalists boycotted the press meet sources said.

‘Kavalan’ is releasing in December and there’s sure to be more action off screen from various quarters then.
