Director Raju Murugan has been known as a writer and he has directed acclaimed movies like Cuckoo and Joker, and his next movie Gypsy starring Jiiva and Natasha Singh is also ready for release. His recent speech in an audio launch event had turned controversial.

Speaking in the audio launch event, Rajumurugan had requested Seeman who was also present in the event, to give a title to the hero of the movie, as people are having titles like Superstar and Ilaya Thalapathy, and added that this hero will shine and turn popular.

However following this speech, fans of Rajni and Vijay expressed their anger, saying that the actors had worked hard to earn the titles, and after this outrage, Raju Murugan apologized on Twitter acknowledging that the actors had worked hard, and that in an attempt to encourage the new actor he made the statement which went wrong, and said he respects the actors contribution to cinema.
