Pro-LTTE activists assault Lankan director in Chennai

Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam supporters attacked a Sri Lankan film director in Chennai and prevented him from taking back prints of his film from a laboratory for allegedly portraying the banned outfit chief, V Prabhakaran, in a poor light.

The incident took place on Tuesday at Gemini Lab in Chennai where Lankan director Thushara Peiris had come to take prints of his film Prabhakaran , which shows the miseries of the people due to the civil war through the eyes of an escaped LTTE cadre.

S P Veerapandian, general secretary of Tamil nationalist party Dravida Iyakka Tamilar Peravai, S Vanniarasu Viduthalai Chiruthaikal and film director Seeman were among those who assaulted Peiris.
