Veeraputhran into controversy

Sri. Hammed Chennamangalloor alleged that  'Veeraputhran,' directed by  P.T. Kunju Muhammed had manipulated history and caused shame to his ancestors. Later Sri. kunju Muhammed said he would initiate legal action against Chennamangalloor if he continues making baseless charges." The film is an onscreen version of N.P.Mohammed's novel, " he said.

However, Chennamangalloor termed the film's depiction of Saheb's death as something 'far from reality' and questioned the  very need to base the film on a novel, when authentic biography on the freedom fighter was available.

Meanwhile, the film is running to packed houses, and its lead actor Narain is being lauded for his commendable performance in the title role.
