- Planet Bollywood Special Correspondant           Let us know what you think about this story

Produced by K. Balachandar, the film stars Rajnikant, Nayantara, Pasupathy, Vadivelu, Jagapati Babu, Sunil and Brahmanandam.

"If the offending scenes are not deleted after an apology by the film's hero, director and others who belittle the profession, we will move the court to get the scenes deleted,' Natesan (president, Hairstylists Welfare Association) said."

The film revolves around the life of a barber, played by Jagapati Babu, and his friendship with a movie icon. The main protagonist is depicted in Kuselan as attracting clients by unfair means.

'Though main distributors of Kuselan are implying that the movie will be worse than a close shave, now real life barbers are about to add more wounds on an already bleeding face,' an exhibitor remarked.

'Kuselan' was sold at Rs.60 million and small distributors and exhibitors have lost 60 percent of their investment so far. After bearing the losses, leading trade bodies have announced non-cooperation notices to its main distributors Pyramid Saimira and producers Kavithalaya and it has endangered a string of major projects worth over Rs.4 billion.
