Actor Kamal Haasan's reuse of the controversial title 'Sandiyar' for his new film with director SU Arun Kumar has reignited debates on caste identity and violence in Tamil Nadu. Originally the title of his 2004 film 'Virumaandi,' it was dropped after protests by Dalit party Puthiya Tamilagam, which claimed it glorified dominant Thevar caste and could incite caste violence involving machetes in southern Tamil Nadu.
