Simbu has offered the explanation that Kettavan means one who has been spoilt because of a woman, and so did not censure anyone in particular. So the film will retain its original title.
Similarly producer – director Sakthi Chidambaram has also reportedly refused to change the title of his movie Porukki. According to him, Porukki means one who picks out the ills of society
Following this, Sundar C.'s film Porukki will undergo a title change.
In case the required changes are not made, the movies would not be eligible for the tax benefits offered to films with Tamil titles.
