After attending the special screening of John Abraham-starrer 'Madras Café' here Sunday, members of Tamil activist group Naam Tamizhar vowed not the allow the film`s release in Tamil Nadu contending it portrays LTTE cadres as terrorists.<br />The private screening was attended by Tamil filmmaker and group chief Seeman and director R.K Selvamani along with many others. "The film tries to portray late Prabhakaran, LTTE chief, as a terrorist. We don`t appreciate it and request the distributors to not screen the film in the state. The sentiment of the film is anti-Tamil and we don`t agree with it," Seeman said.<br />"We wouldn`t be bothered if our Sri Lankan brothers were not portrayed in a bad light. Prabhakaran sacrificed his life fighting for Sri Lankan Tamils. How can a film possibly portray him as a terrorist?" he asked. 'Madras Café' earned the wrath of pro-Tamil groups when its trailer was released in July. However, speaking at an event recently here, John said: "My film doesn`t take any sides. It doesn`t portray anybody as terrorists."<br />Be the first one to catch all the news and exciting happenings in the world of Bollywood.<br />Join Us on Facebook<br /> http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Bollywood-Show/267307240024991<br /> Follow Us on Twitter <br /> https://twitter.com/#!/DaBollywoodShow
