It is well known that there have been several protests by the Tamil film industry against the violence committed by the Sri Lankan government against the Tamils. The Tamil Film Industry passed a resolution not to go to Sri Lanka for any film shoot. It was also decided that whoever visits Srilanka in their professional capacity will be banned from the industry. As Tamanna herself has disclosed that she is going to shoot in Srilanka there is a call on the film industry not sign her in any film from now and even they decided to remove her latest release Venghai from the theatres.

Earlier, Asin faced condemnation for shooting in Srilanka with Salman Khan for Ready.
