Ace Filmmaker Santosh Shivan shared a funny meme on Twitter which made him land in trouble. The tweet is controversial and all the producers are now raging with anger on him.

Apparently, he posted a meme picture which showed an angry dog with the caption ‘Producer while paying technicians’ and a picture of the same dog smiling with the caption ‘Producers while paying heroine’. This meme failed to go down well with the fellow producers. A few of them even filed a complaint on Santosh Sivan to Tamil Film Producers Council and requested them to take action against Santosh Sivan for disrespecting them.

However, Santosh Sivan has deleted his post and apologized to the producers claiming that he did it for fun but not to insult anyone. On the work front, Santosh Sivan is all set for his next directorial in Malayalam with Manju Warrier, Kalidas Jayaram and Soubin Shahir in pivotal roles.

The ‘Mersal’ controversy seems growing bigger day by day. Though the movie producer has agreed to delete the scenes which make a mockery of GST, the film celebrities are raising their voice for trying to curb the freedom of expression.

After Kamal Haasan, Rajinikanth, Vishal, and several others lent their support to the ‘Mersal’ team, the renowned cinematographer Santosh Sivan came up with a sensational Tweet – ‘Coming Soon. Films to display a new statutory warning. “No Governments were harmed during the making of this film’.

Even Arvind Swami came in support of ‘Mersal’. ‘By consolidating taxes, GST is making people aware of their contribution. Now, People will ask the govt for their due. What’s wrong? #Mersal,’ he questioned.
