The South Indian Artistes Association (SIAA) expressed displeasure over the incident and said the Anirudh and Simbu’s action was ‘condemnable’.
Though people had relaxed the boundaries of cinema, they however will not tolerate when things go beyond such boundaries, SIAA President M Nasser said.
Since the ‘beep song’ denigrated women, it is condemnable, he said in a SIAA statement.
He said a performer is duty bound to either apologise or give an explanation if his opinion creates a negative impact.
Nasser said the association had not responded so far since it was busy with flood relief activities.
Moreover, it had remained silent since an immediate response against Simbu would have been perceived as vindictive action since he hailed from the opposite camp, the SIAA president said.
The episode has served as a lesson for all performers, Nasser said, adding they have to be careful in future to ensure such incidents were not repeated.
