Vijay Deverakonda's 'Kingdom': Apology letter to Tamils fake, producers clarify
Vijay Deverakonda's film Kingdom faced protests in Tamil Nadu over claims it showed Sri Lankan Tamils negatively.
A supposed apology letter went viral online, but the producers, Sithara Entertainments, have clarified it's fake and they never issued any statement.
The protests, led by Naam Thamizhar Katchi, mainly affected screenings in Trichy and Ramanathapuram.
