    Why does it matter?

    Ranjith, a celebrated director of Tamil cinema, has openly spoken about the importance of Dr. Ambedkar's ideologies. His films created a new wave in Kollywood, where caste oppression was discussed and addressed loudly. It does not surprise us to see him attached to the project. His attachment to this venture will rather add weight to the subject. Focus on the cremation place is interesting.
