All kinds of back end preparations are being taken care of for Kannappa’s hit. The promotional team of Kannappa have been thoroughly doing the behind the doors works. There are many social media platforms where the influencers are talking about how they received emails from the Kannappa team to promote the film positively. If they refuse, they get a strike on their YouTube channel. According to youtube rules and regulations, if they get strikes like that, even the entire channel can be eliminated. A youtube channel and numerous subscribers is years of hardwork of a single person’s creativity. If the content is only to hurt or injure or disrespect a person, then getting a strike is genuine. But a strike for just putting out their honest opinions about another creative work in the form of a movie is beyond ethics. It’s a direct attack on the fundamental right of freedom of expression.

If a citizen cannot express his opinions, this can actually endanger in many areas of human life in that country. It’s basically a dictatorship.

Recently a music director spoke about how their own people are killing the movies. People trolled many movies and performances. There are many instances where the same people said great things about some movies and made them huge hits. If you are enjoying the praises about one art work, you should also accept when the same people say negative about another art work. At the end of the day, it’s all about whether you are satisfied with what you have done. Once you are happy with your work, what does it have to do with what others say? If you can’t take criticism, how can you develop? In a recent press meet, comedian Bramhananadam said he is his first and best critic. If you are not satisfied with your work, work hard to achieve the stage where you respect yourself.

Instead of developing, getting ahead in skill achievement, killing the voices of honest speakers will not achieve the ultimate great products. The consequence of going back to the dark ages of no freedom of expression is revolution. This is what history taught us.
