The reporter asked him why did he cast actress Nimisha Sajayan who is not beautiful and yet made her deliver such a great performance. Karthik Subbaraj told the reporter that such mindset was not a good one. He said that it is wrong to say that someone is not beautiful. Subbaraj said it was wrong on part of him to say that. Nimisha Sajayan plays the role of Malaiyarasi a fierce tribal woman who is the wife of Caeser (Raghava Lawrence). Later on, Santhosh Narayanan took to X and commented that such a ridiculous question around the actress' beauty was just to create controversy. He said things had not changed in the past nine years when people had asked Jigarthanda Figuredhandha question.

He said he had done many sexual assault scenes before and it was not new for him. But he was not in the same frame as Trisha. Lokesh Kanagaraj said it was condemnable and respect for fellow artistes was a must. Also Read - Chandramukhi 2: Raghava Lawrence's next Jigarthanda DoubleX made on a WHOPPING budget?
