Barbers turn against Kuselan

Kuselan has been at the receiving end from the day of its release. First it was the Rajinikanth fans who objected to the stars portrayal in the film. After the fan fury, the theatre owners wanted their money back when the film bombed. Now the latest is that the barbers have objected to the film! On Friday (Aug 29) the barbers tried to picket the house of director P.Vasu, taking exception to the way they are portrayed in the film. They objected to Vadivels character, a barber who is a peeper and watches his own wife (Sona) doing exercise at their home! Which barber in the state has his own private gym? Another scene they objected to was Vadivel a mobile barber giving a shave to a customer sitting on a bus waiting at a closed railway gate. "We take exception to the way hair dressers have been depicted in the film. It denigrates our profession.", says Natesan, President of Tamilnadu Hair Dressers Welfare Association. P.Vasu feels that there is something strange that the barbers have decided to protest four weeks after the films release. The barbers who protested were taken into custody by the police and released later in the evening.
