With only five days to go for the release of Ajith's action entertainer 'Thunivu' on January 11th fans are in nonstop celebration mode on social media platforms. The film is the third consecutive collaboration between director H. Vinoth, producer Boney Kapoor and Ajith Kumar.

Already all the songs released from the film tuned by Ghibran have received overwhelming response from the fans. The action packed trailer of 'Thunivu' released on New Year's Eve further upped the ante for the film amongst not only AK fans but also the general public as well.

Now a shocking news has started doing the rounds that a ban has been effected on 'Thunivu' in Saudi Arabia. Initial reports say that the reasons anti transgender sentiment, anti Islamic sequences and excessive violence. Other sources say that the film has been removed from the "Upcoming" list in theaters. But none of these have been authenticated and we will have to wait for official word.

'Thunivu' star Ajith and Manju Warrier in the lead with Samuthirakani, Veera, Amir, Pavni, Cibi Bhuvana Chandran, Mahanadhi Shankar, G. M. Kumar, Nayana Sai and John Kokken.
